Operating the Scale
Determination of the
Repeatability (reproTEST)
Definition
Repeatability is the ability of the
scale to display identical readouts
when it is loaded several times
with the same weight under constant
ambient conditions (also called
“reproducibility”).
The standard deviation for a given
number of measurements is used
to quantify the repeatability.
Purpose
The “reproTEST” function auto-
matically determines the repeatability
of results (based on 6 individual
measurements). In this way, the scale
determines one of the most important
quantities in relation to the place of
installation. The results are displayed
with the scale’s accuracy.
