Add-On function Peak-Hold

With the aid of the Add-On function Peak-Hold you can determine/hold the maximum value of a weighing or a series of weighings. 

Application examples:

Case of holding a stable value:

The item to be weighed covers the display. The value can only be read after the goods to be weighed have been removed. The hold function freezes the measured value for a specific time. (See example no.1 below.)

Case of holding any value:

For measuring rudimentary material properties, e.g. force required for a certain degree of deformation or for rudimentary testing of a release force. (See example no.2 below.)

Mode Manual

Hold value Stable

Press [Start Peak-Hold].

Place the weight on the weighing pan. The maximum measured stable weight value is displayed and held until [Stop Peak-Hold] is pressed. 

Each newly captured maximum will be attended by a short beep tone.                 

Hold value Each

Press [Start Peak-Hold].

 Place the weight on the weighing pan. The maximum measured unstable or stable  weight value is displayed and held until [Stop Peak-Hold] is pressed. 

Mode Automatic

Hold value Stable - Example no.1

Example: The item to be weighed covers the display. The value can only be read after the goods to be weighed have been removed. The hold function freezes the measured value for a specific time.

Place your item on the weighing pan. As soon as the threshold value of 15g has been exceeded the Peak-Hold will capture the next stable (peak) value.

As soon as the weight on the pan is stable, Peak-Hold indicates it by a short beep tone and displays the stable weight value for 10 seconds (hold time). During this time you can remove the item from the balance pan and view the captured weight value on the balance display.

 (After the hold time has run out. the peak-hold is cleared and the display shows the current weight on the pan again.)

 Hold value Each - Example no.2

 Example: For measuring rudimentary material properties, e.g. force required for a certain degree of deformation or for rudimentary testing of a release force.

Load the balance with the weight force you want to examine. As soon as the threshold value of 15g has been exceeded the Peak-Hold will constantly show the peak of the measured values.

To end the examination press [Stop Peak-Hold].

Indication in protocols 

The displayed peak value is represented with the protocol item Current measurement.
