With the Averaging application, you
can use your weighing platform for
calculating weights as the average of a
number of individual weighing opera-
tions. These individual operations are
also known as “subweighing opera-
tions.”
This function is used to determine
weights under unstable ambient condi-
tions or for weighing unstable samples
(such as live animals).

Start Begin animal weighing.
The calculation is made when
the specified number of
subweighing operations have
been completed.
mDef – Save the value entered

ations for averaging”.
– Begin averaging with the
number of weighing opera-
tions entered as the basis
Weigh. Toggle display to Weighing
mode
Result Toggle display to result
of last measurement
A number of subweighing operations
are required to form the basis for calcu-
lation of an average weight. You can
enter the desired number of subweigh-
ing operations using the keypad.
The number you enter is saved until
it is overwritten by another number.
It also remains in memory when you
switch to a different application
program, or turn off the Combics.
There are three ways to start the
averaging routine:
- Manual start with preset number of
subweighing operations:
Place the sample on the platform and
press the
Start soft key
– Manual start with user-defined number
of subweighing operations:
Place the sample on the platform and
enter the number of weighing opera-
tions using the keypad. Press the
mDef soft key to save the number
entered and begin weighing.
–
Automatic start with preset number
of subweighing operations:
Measurement begins when you place
the first sample on the platform,
provided the start conditions are met.
