| The Discovery family of Analytical balances offers semi micro weighing precision, modern ergonomic design, as well as a long list of standard features. Ohaus´ combination of weighing performance, ease of use, and advanced applications make the Discovery line ideal for a broad range of uses from basic weighing, to more advanced applications such as parts counting, pipette calibration, density determination, statistical analysis, percent weighing and dynamic weighing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Q: | Will a standard RS232 cable work with an Ohaus balance? |
| A: | It depends on the model of the balance. For a long time Ohaus balances needed a special cable, made only by Ohaus. Now that may or may not be the case. The safest way to find out is to look in the instruction manual. If you are waiting for delivery you can download a copy of the manual at www.ohaus.com. |
| Q: | Can I enter data directly into a spreadsheet from my electronic balance? |
| A: | Ohaus balances are designed to work with terminal programs. HyperTerminal is a program that is included with windows and works very well for this purpose. And you probably already have it. In order to get information into a windows program like a spreadsheet you will need a program called a Software Wedge. Ohaus sells a very good software wedge written by TAL industries called "Software Wedge for Windows". |
| Q: | What is the difference between a Span and a Linearity calibration? |
| A: | A span calibration sets the balance at 2 points Usually zero and full capacity. A linearity calibration sets the balance at 3 points. Usually zero, half capacity and full capacity. |
| Q: | How often should an Ohaus balance be calibrated? |
| A: | To determine how often a balance needs to be calibrated you should first collect a history on the balance. This is done by checking the balance at a set interval and recording the results. The interval should be determined by how sensitive the application is. A good place to start may be once at the beginning of each day for non critical applications or once an hour for critical applications. When the check shows the balance is not weighing correctly it should be calibrated and the calibration noted. From the history you can adjust the check intervals. |
| Q: | Is readability and accuracy the same thing? |
| A: | No, the readability of a balance is the smallest quantity that the balance will display. Accuracy is the difference between the known weight of a sample and the displayed weight. The accuracy of a balance can be measured only when the balance is in its operating environment. |
| Q: | 1. Can the electronic balance be pre-programmed Example like the supermarket weighing machines which can give the total price according to the weight? 2. I would like to find out whether the balance can be programmed in such a way so that the amount of a certain drug added to a bag of infusion fluid can be "weighed" since every drug has its own specific gravity. Instead of the price per 100g, the specific gravity is used and from the weight, the amount of drug added is given. |
| A: | Ohaus does not do special programming of our balances unless a lot of units are involved. The cost of programming would make small quantities very expensive. However most Ohaus balances have an RS232 output to communicate with a computer serial port. Hopefully it’s possible in your application to do the special programming in a computer. |
| Q: | I am unable to balance or calibrate My Scout balance because of lack of weights Is there a way to test the machine with out taking it in to be serviced. Help it says I need 200g, can two rolls of nickels be used? |
| A: | You can use a roll of nickels as a substitute for a 100g mass on certain balances, Scout is one of them. In the case of a Scout displaying an error 1, a linearity calibration must be performed to find out if the problem is the calibration or the balance needs to be repaired. If an error 4 is displayed during the calibration the balance needs to be repaired. You can use rolls of nickels in this case, but if the calibration fixes the problem you must purchase a test mass to perform a good calibration. You can purchase test masses directly from Ohaus.
