Minimum Weighing Value Mode
The balance needs to know the level of reliability involved in the measurement data. When measuring
miniscule samples, the balance performance and the installation environment affects the measurement
and can decrease the measurement accuracy. The AP Series evaluates the level of data reliability to
output as measurement values with the use of the minimum weighing value, and the user is altered
to measurements that fall below this value by the measurement display blinking so that the user can
confirm the range in which measurements are possible with peace of mind. There are two methods
available for setting the minimum weighing value calculating the minimum weighing value during actual
measurement, and setting a random value for the minimum weighing value. Explanations on these two
methods are provided below.
