Deviation
Deviation measurement compares a measured value against an
entered reference value. The reference value is subtracted from the
reading of the measured value. The difference replaces the
measurement value. Both the reference value (indicated with a
triangle) as well as the actual measurement value (indicated with a
circled A) are shown on the additional info row as seen in the
picture.

When Deviation measurement is active, text "
Deviation
" is shown
above the Deviation value.
Hint.
Use the F2/
Capture
Function Key to add a measured "tare" as the
reference value.
Notes.
If anything else was selected for display on the additional info row,
the main measurement of the window replaces the previous
additional info data.
Also: if you select two other items to be displayed on the additional
info row while Deviation measurement is active, the second item
replaces the windows' main measurement data. Beware of the
problems that may result in not seeing the true measurement
value.
Warning.
Keep in mind that when the displayed deviation reading is small
compared to the actual reading, a significant part of the
deviation value may be measurement error. See the
specifications for measurement errors at the actual
measurement level.
