  Minimum load
  The minimum load required for 
initialization of the averaging routine 
is configured in Setup under:
Appl: V: 3.6.
Signum

appl1
:  
anim.wg: 3.6. 
Setting a minimum load for averaging 
can be especially useful if you configure 
automatic start of measurement.
  The minimum load required for 
automatic taring of the container 
weight on the platform (first weight), 
or for automatic printout of results, 
is configured in Setup under:
  Appl: V: 3.5.
Signum

  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 
to start the averaging routine.
  Starting the Measurements
  The averaging routine does not begin 
until the fluctuation in weight value 
remains below a defined threshold 
over three consecutive measurements. 
The tolerance limit is defined as a 
percentage of the animal or
  object weight (for example, 0.1%, 0.2%, 
..., 50%, 100%), configured in Setup 
under: 
Appl: V: 3.19.
Signum

appl1
: 
anim.wg: 3.19.
  If the “Averaging” parameter is set to 
2%, for example, and the animal or 
object weighs 10 kg, measurement 
does not begin until the fluctuation 
in weight value remains below 200 g 
during three consecutive measurements.
 Display
  A calculated average value is shown 
continuously on the main display. 
The ! symbol (indicating a calculated 
value) is also displayed.
  You can toggle between this display to 
a readout of the current weight on the 
platform by pressing the w key.
  In the Setup menu, under: 
Appl: V: 3.21.

  You can select “Display is static until 
unload threshold reached” to have the 
display switch automatically to the 
weight readout when you unload the 
weighing platform (i.e., when the load 
is less than half the minimum load). 
The result of the most recent averaging 
operation is not saved.
  If you select “Display is static until 
the c key is pressed,” the calculated 
average remains displayed even after 
the weighing platform is unloaded, 
until you press the c key to begin 
a new measurement.
