5.2.6 User management
Navigation: > General configuration and data > User management
In the section User management rights for users and user groups can be defined. User management simplifies operations by customizing the user interface according the requirements of every user. Additionally, it helps in regulatory environments that actions and results on a device can be traced to the individual user. If user management is activated, access to the system is user-specific (user logon). The access to the system can be protected by a password. Create up to 20 users and assign them a previously defined access authorization
(group). According the access authorization only the relevant information is shown to a specific user. After switching on the balance, the user must login with the password, depending on the settings. The user must logout to switch off.

6.2.3 Workflow handling options
The workflow handling options differ depending on the application in which they are used. The following functions are available:
• Autoincrement
• Input prompt
Autoincrement
The function Autoincrement specifies that the last part of the ID is incremented with each use of that ID. There are two basic functions depending on how the ID is defined:
• If there is no counter in the ID, the system automatically adds a counter to the ID starting with 1 (e.g., the ID
Process will be Process1 in the next use).
•
•
•
If a counter is part of the ID, the system automatically increments the ID starting at that counter (e.g., the ID
Process 1 will be Process 2 in the next use).
The counter must be set at the end of the ID, otherwise the system doesn't recognize the number as a counter (e.g., in 567Apple the system doesn't recognize 567 as a counter).
If the ID has no counter and a maximum length of 16 characters, the last few characters will be overwritten by the counter.
Input prompt
The Input prompt function can be used for every ID. If Input prompt is activated, the ID will be prompted on the display before it is used. The user can decide whether to use the default value that has been defined with the ID or define an individual value. The value can either be define with the keyboard on the touch screen, by reading in the information with a barcode reader or by attaching an external keyboard to the balance. For more information please refer to Devices and services .

Counting with reference weight check
The reference weight check ensures that the reference weight is high enough for the resulting counting accuracy to fit the customer process tolerance. Activate a reference weight check and define the process tolerance in percent. The percentage factor range is 0.01 - 30.00%. The higher the factor, the smaller the required minimum reference weight. Factory setting: 2%. The minimum reference weight is equal to d / factor.
Precision and Analytical Balances Activities 63
Example
d = 0.1 g
Factor = 20%
Minimum reference weight = 0.1 g / 20% = 0.5 g
If the reference calculation is activated manually or automatically, the minimum reference weight is checked to ensure the desired accuracy. If it is not sufficient, the user is prompted to add the number of additional parts needed. The number of additional parts needed is reduced to zero, after which the user adds additional parts. At zero, the reference calculation is activated automatically. If too many parts are added, the user is prompted to remove the number of parts until zero is reached.

7.1.9 Differential weighing
Navigation: Activities > Activities - Weighing and other applications > Differential weighing
For differential weighing, one or several samples are checked for weight variations. The first step consists of determining the initial weight of the sample (initial weighing). Certain sample components are subsequently removed or added. Processes, e.g., drying, filtering, evaporation and coating, are also possible. After processing, the sample is weighed again (back-weighing). The balance subsequently determines the difference between the two values.
The principle function of the differential weighing application is very similar to the one of back-weighing.
However, back-weighing is designed for a very basic work flow with one sample only and very few configuration options. The differential weighing application offers much more flexibility, with up to 200 samples and different workflow options, but it is also more complex to configure and use.

7.1.9.1 Working with the differential weighing application
There are two different weighing sequence options for differential weighing that are supported by the differential weighing application. For each weighing sequence option (work flow), a maximal version with all options activated and a basic version are described as a sample. Additionally, the user can deviate anytime from the given sequence by choosing the required sample in a list on the balance or identifying the sample ID by a
barcode reader (please refer to [Workflow - Free navigation } Page 89]).
7.1.9.1.1 Workflow - Initial weighings first
With this method, the initial weight and the final weight of the sample are determined in a separate operation.

Regardless of which weighing sequence option is chosen ( Sample by sample or Initial weighings first
(Default) ), the default workflow can be interrupted and each sample and weighing process can be performed in a sequence according the user's requirements. The required sample can be selected either by navigating to the result table via the work title bar or swiping from sample to sample on the work title bar. Especially convenient is to identify the sample before the back-weighing by scanning its ID with a barcode reader. The balance does then automatically show the correct sample to proceed with the weighing process.

7.1.10 Density
Navigation: Activities > Activities - Weighing and other applications > Density
Density allows the density of solid bodies and liquids to be determined.
The density is determined via the Archimedes principle, according to which a body immersed in a fluid undergoes an apparent loss in weight which is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
To determine the density of solid bodies, we recommend using the optional density kit, which contains all attachments and aids needed for convenient and precise density determination. To determine the density of liquids, a sinker is also required. This can be obtained from your METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

11.4.6 MT-SICS interface commands and functions
Many of the instruments and balances used have to be able to integrate into a complex computer or data acquisition system.
To easily integrate a balance into a system and utilize its capacity to the full extent, most balance functions are also available as corresponding commands via the data interface.
All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support "METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface
Command Set" (MT-SICS). The commands available depend on the functionality of the balance.
For further information, please contact your METTLER TOLEDO representative.
Refer to the MT-SICS Reference Manual which can be downloaded from the Internet at u www.mt.com/library
