The weighing balance is ready to calculate a peak value:

Select application < F11 MAX. HOLD >, see chap.16.1.
From that point onwards the weighing balance will register every weighing
value greater than the set threshold.

Place load on pan and weighing will start automatically on reaching the set
threshold.
The highest load value will be indicated by the "Max" indicator.

The peak value remains in the display until it is deleted by the UNIT button.
Then the balance is ready for further measurements.
• Return to weighing mode, see chap. 17.2.1
