Overview
The Capture Dual Weight function in Agvance Scale Interface is designed to improve weighing efficiencies and can be used to create separate Scale Tickets for two outbound Anhydrous tanks connected in tandem. It can also be used when two connected trailers are being returned from customer, to add tare weights and complete two In Process Scale Tickets.
Setup
Procedures For Creating 2 New Scale Tickets
With the Add a Scale Ticket window open in Agvance Scale Interface, pull both anhydrous tanks onto the scale. Complete as much information on the Add a Scale Ticket window as it applies to both Scale Tickets (product, ticket type, etc.) and then select Capture Dual Weight.
The Dual Weight screen will display with the current scale weight and the combined scale weight previously captured. If necessary, select Capture Dual Weight again to overwrite the combined scale weight with the correct weight. The next two Scale Ticket numbers in sequence will default into the Scale Ticket to be created for Trailer 1 and Trailer 2. Select the appropriate Trailer IDs for both trailers. Make sure Weight Type is set to Gross for both. Then pull the trailers forward so only the last trailer is on the scale and select Capture Dual Split Weight. The gross weight of the second trailer will be captured. The gross weight of the first trailer is calculated as:
[Combined Scale Weight (-) gross Trailer 2 Weight = gross Trailer 1 Weight]
Choose Save to create the two new tickets.
Procedures For Completing 2 'In Process' Scale Tickets
When two tanks are brought back (does not have to be two tanks that went out together), pull both tanks onto the scale and select New then Capture Dual Weight.
With both tanks still on the scale, check to see if the scale weight being displayed is different than the combined scale weight previously captured. If so, select Capture Dual Weight again to get the correct combined weight. Select the Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 IDs. (The Weight Type can be Gross or Tare; it does not matter in this case.) Pull the trailers forward so that only the second trailer is on the scale and select Capture Dual Split Weight. (Individual weights for Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 will now be displayed.) Choose Save Weights to File. (This saves the two weights without creating new Scale Tickets.)
A message will appear saying Trailer 1 already exists. Select Yes. Another message will appear saying Trailer 2 already exists. Choose Yes.
Back on the Add a Scale Ticket window, highlight and double-click on the In Process ticket previously added for the first trailer to edit it and add the saved weight. (A message may display stating information has changed and will ask if this should be saved. Choose No.) Double-click in the Tare Weight field and select the appropriate saved weight for the trailer on this ticket. Review all information on this ticket to make sure it is now complete and select Save.
Repeat the above steps for adding the saved tare weight to the In Process Scale Ticket that exists for the second tank.
Double-click on the second In Process ticket previously added for the second trailer to edit it and add the saved weight. (A message may display stating information has changed and will ask if this should be saved.) Double-click in the Tare Weight field. Select the appropriate saved weight for the trailer on this ticket. Review all information on this ticket to make sure it is now complete. Select Save.
