The LaboratoryScaleType defines the structure of an Object of the LaboratoryScaleType. Figure 57 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 111.

An Object of the LaboratoryScaleType represents a laboratory scale. It defines additional methods and properties required for managing the laboratory scale.

CalibrationNeeded defines if a calibration procedure is needed and if the current process should be paused.

CalibrationRunning defines if a calibration procedure is running (e.g. started via method StartCalibration).

DraftShieldLeftClosed defines if the left draft shield is closed.

DraftShieldRightClosed defines if the right draft shield is closed.

DarftShieldTopClosed defines if the top draft shield is closed.

LevelingRunning defines if a leveling process is running (e.g. started via the method StartLeveling).

IonisatorRunning defines if an ionization procedure is running (e.g. started via the method StartIonizer).
