Minimum Load
The minimum load required for initial-
ization of the averaging routine is con-
figured in Setup under:
Application: Animal
wgh: MinL.Start
Setting a minimum load for averaging
can be especially useful if you configure
automatic start of measurement.
The minimum load required for auto-
matic taring of the container weight on
the platform (first weight), or for auto-
matic printout of results, is configured
in Setup under:
Application: Animal
wgh: MinL.Autotar
You can choose from the following
10 levels for this setting:
1 digit (no minimum load)
2 digits
5 digits
10 digits
20 digits
50 digits
100 digits
200 digits
500 digits
1000 digits
The “digits” here refer to the scale
intervals in the connected weighing
platform. If the interval of the con-
nected platform is 1 g, for example, and
1000 digits are required, you must
place at least 1000 g (=1000 intervals
=1000 digits) on the weighing platform
to start the averaging routine.
Starting the Measurements
The averaging routine does not begin
until the fluctuation in weight value
remains below a defined threshold
over three consecutive measurements.
The tolerance limit is defined as a per-
centage of the animal or object weight
(for example, 0.1%; 0.2%, 0.5%, etc., up
to 20%, 50%; 100%), configured in
Setup under:
Application: Animal
wgh: Averaging
If the “Averaging” parameter is set
to 2%, for example, and the animal or
object weighs 10 kg, measurement does
not begin until the fluctuation in
weight value remains below 200 g dur-
ing three consecutive measurements.
Display
A calculated average value is shown
continuously on the main display.
The symbol
a (calculated value) is
also displayed.
You can toggle from this display to
a readout of the current weight on the
platform by pressing the
Weigh.
soft key, and back again by pressing the
press the
Result soft key.
In the Setup menu, under:
Application: Animal
wgh: Weight af. unload
you can select Threshold to have
the display switch automatically to the
weight readout when you unload the
weighing platform (i.e., when the load
is less than half the minimum load).
The result of the most recent averaging
operation remains in memory.
If you select
Toggle key, the
calculated average remains displayed
even after the weighing platform is
unloaded, until you press the c key
or begin a new measurement.
