8.2.5  Functions 
Item  Function  Description 
1  Measuring net weight  Various measuring modes to choose from 
2  Stability check 
When an object is put on a load cell, you can check whether the present 
weight of the object is in a specified stability range. 
3  Determining zero point  If an object is removed from the load cell, no weight is measured. 
4  Filter out weights 
Filter out the maximum or minimum weight measured or use an average 
weight for a more accurate value. 
5  Multi-point adjustment    There are as many as 20 points for adjustment 
6  Theoretical calibration 
Calibration based on the output value of the sensor instead of the real weight 
calibration   
7  Zero point tracking  Zero point tracking 
8 
Limit detections for 
channels 
Save the maximum and minimum values for channels. 
9  Records for channels  Save the analog curves for channels. 
 
1. Measuring net weight 
You can choose to measure either the net weight or the gross weight of an object. Net weight is the actual 
weight of a product without its package. The weight of a package is the tare weight. Gross weight is the total 
weight: net weight plus tare weight. 
  Tare weight: the weight of a package 
  Net weight: the weight of a product, that is, the actual weight of a product without its package 
  Gross weight: the total weight, that is, the net weight of a product plus the tare weight of its package 
  Gross weight=Net weight+Tar e weight 
Example: a product weighs 10 kg, and the carton in which the product is packed weighs 0.2 kg. The 
gross weight is 10.2 kg. 
Net weight = 10 kg 
Tare weight = 0.2 kg 
Gross weight = 10.2 kg
