15.2.5. HOLD and PEAK HOLD
The <HOLD> key implements a manual Hold function. The <PEAK> key implements a Peak
Hold function where the largest absolute weight, either positive or negative is stored in the
peak value (e.g. -30 is larger than 25). The Hold annunciator is active when the display is
showing the held weight. Refer to 5.1 Display page 20.
To perform the Hold function, do the following:
Press the manual <HOLD> key once to hold the current displayed weight.
Press the manual <HOLD> key again to return the display to normal weighing.
To perform the Peak Hold function, do the following:
Press the <PEAK> hold key once to show the absolute peak weight reading.
Press the <PEAK> hold key again to return the display to normal weighing.
A long press of the <PEAK> hold key clears the peak value back to 0 (zero).
All printouts that print the displayed weight will use the held weight reading if it is currently
being displayed. When NTEP mode is selected, the indicator will not print while a weight is
held.
15.2.6. LIVE.WT
The <LIVE.WT> key is used to enable live weight averaging. With this feature, it is possible to
determine the weight of a continually moving mass (e.g. livestock).
Press and hold the <LIVE WT> key to switch between normal weighing and live weight
mode. The display will briefly show NORMAL or LIVE.WT.
During normal weighing, this key operates exactly like a manual <HOLD> key.
In Live-Weight mode the following sequence is followed:
While the net weight is within the zero 'dead' band, the instrument shows the current
weight.
Press the <TARE> or <ZERO> key to clear any residual weight and return the scale to
the zero state.
Place the mass to be weighed on the scale.
Once the weight moves outside the zero 'dead' band the instrument begins to calculate a
long-term average that compensates for any movement in the mass. The instrument
flashes the Hold annunciator and shows the current average value.
The Hold annunciator is steady when the final sample weight is shown on the display.
Press the <LIVE WT> key to force the sample to be re-calculated.
Once the weight is returned to the zero 'dead' band, the cycle can be repeated.
15.2.7. SHOW.T
The SHOW.T item stands for Show Total. The function key will be labelled <TOTAL>.
The PRINT key is used not only to print the current weight but also to add that weight to the
current total.
When the <TOTAL> key is pressed the indicator displays count followed by the number
of items in the total.
After this, TOTAL is displayed followed by the current total weight.
If the total weight is too large to display in six digits, the weight is shown in two sections
labelled with the upper six digits displayed before the lower six digits.
A long press of the <PRINT> key causes the total accumulated weight to be printed and then
cleared. The SERIAL:TYPE option must be set to PRINT to activate this function.
