  Parameter for saving weight values
  The weight on the platform is saved as 
a reference value when the platform 
has stabilized. “Stability” is defined as 
the point at which the fluctuation of 
a measured value lies within a defined 
tolerance range. The narrower the 
tolerance range, the more stable the 
platform is at “stability”.
In Setup, under:
Appl:
 Z: 3.11.
Signum
®
 3: 
appl1: count: 3.11.
You can define whether the value is 
saved when “standard stability” is 
reached, or only at “increased stability” 
(narrower tolerance range). If you 
select “increased stability,” the value 
saved for average piece weight will be 
more accurate and the results more 
reproducible, but the response time of 
the weighing platform might be longer.
  Accuracy of Average Piece Weight 
Calculation
  The resolution applied for calculating 
the reference weight is defined in Setup 
under:
  Appl: 
Z: 3.9.
Signum
®
 3: 
Appl1
: count: 3.9.
The resolution for calculating the 
reference weight is increased if 
“+1  decimal place,” “+2 decimal 
places” or “Internal resolution” is 
selected. With the “+1 decimal place” 
setting, the net value is determined 
to one additional decimal place (i.e., 
display accuracy x 10); “+2 decimal 
places” increases display accuracy + 
100, and “Internal resolution” uses 
the maximum resolution available. 
  Minimum load
  The minimum load required for 
initialization of the weighing platform 
is configured in Setup under:
  Appl:
 Z: 3.6.
Signum
®
 3: 
appl1:
 count: 3.6.
  Once the limit is exceeded by the load, 
initialization can begin.  
If the load on platform is too light, the 
following will occur when you try to 
save a value:
–  The error code Inf 29 is displayed
–  The weighing platform is not initialized
–  The preset reference sample quantity is 
saved
  The minimum load required for 
automatic taring of the container 
weight on the platform (first weight) 
is configured in Setup under:
  Appl: 
Z: 3.5.

: m.weigh: 3.5.
  You can choose from the following 
10 levels for this setting:
  1 digit
  2 digits
  5 digits
  10 digits
  20 digits
  50 digits
  100 digits
  200 digits
  500 digits
  1000 digits
  The “digits” here refer to the scale 
intervals in the connected weighing 
platform. If the interval of the 
connected platform is 1 g, for example, 
and 1000 digits are required, you must 
place at least 1000 g (=  1000 intervals 
=1000 digits) on the weighing platform 
for initialization.
