  • Page 100: Averaging

    Averaging Averaging Purpose: This application is used for moving samples (e. g., live animals) and for weighing in unstable environments. A measurement cycle is automatically carried out with a defined number of measurements for each object to be weighed. The individual measurements are averaged, and this average is displayed as the result.
  • Page 101 Averaging t Enter the range of instability for the start of the measurement: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5% ... *10% ... 50% from measured object This entry estimates the strength of the instability that is caused by the activity (e. g., animal movement). You can use the rough estimation or a more detailed estimation using percentages. The weight value changes with each movement of the weighing pan. As soon as three consecutive measurement values are within the selected instability range, the interval measurement begins. Example: You are weighing animals with an average weight of approx. 300 g. With the “5.0% of object” setting, the measurement starts when the movements are within a range of 15 g, i.e., ± 7.5 g. With the “50% of object” setting, the interval measurement would start when the weight value was within a range of 150 g, i.e. ± 75 g.
