FAQ: What is Scale Reaction Speed?

Scale Reaction Speed determines how the Mixmate filters out vibrations—such as those caused by pumps, engines, or wind—while measuring the weight in the inductor.

How it Works

The scale is extremely sensitive. Without filtering, the vibration from a running carrier pump could cause the weight reading to "bounce" up and down, making it difficult for the system to know exactly how much product has been inducted.

  • Higher Sensitivity (Fast Reaction): The scale responds instantly to weight changes. This is great for accuracy when the system is still, but it can lead to erratic readings if there is any vibration.

  • Lower Sensitivity (Slow Reaction): The system "smooths" the data. It averages the weight over a split second to ignore the "chatter" of the pump, providing a stable number for the automated valves to work with.

[!TIP]

If you notice your inductor weight "flickering" or jumping around during a fill, lowering the Scale Reaction Speed (making it less sensitive) can help stabilize the reading.


How to Adjust Scale Reaction Speed

If you need to adjust the sensitivity to match your specific setup, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Data Tab: Tap the Data tab on the bottom navigation bar.

  2. Select Mixmates: Tap the Mixmates button.

  3. Enter Configuration: Tap in the middle of your Mixmate Card (near the Master Module text), then tap Configuration.

  4. Open Assemblies: Select the Assemblies tab at the top.

  5. Select Inductor: Tap the middle of the Inductor assembly.

  6. Locate Setting: Look for Scale Reaction Speed near the top/middle of the screen, just under the Inductor module listing.

  7. Adjust and Save: Select your desired setting, then tap Save in the upper right corner.

  8. Final Commit: Tap the System tab at the top and tap Save in the upper right corner to send the update to the hardware.
