3.2.3 End of Batch

An End of Batch is defined as being when the Batch Quantity is reached, the
flow has stopped and the Signal Timeout period has expired.

If the Signal Timeout is set to zero, the End of Batch is defined as being when
the Batch Quantity is reached, regardless of whether the flow has stopped.

The Batch Controller cannot be reset or restarted until the End of Batch and
similarly, for an RS232/422/485 interface, data will not be output until the End
of Batch has been determined. Consequently, it is strongly recommended that
the Signal Timeout period be kept fairly short.

End of Batch Signal

An End of Batch signal from an open collector transistor is output on terminal 30
and the output is identical to the Output Pulse circuit as shown in section 3.5.
When reaching the End of Batch, the output transistor is switched on, and will
remain in the "on" state until the instrument is reset.
