1.0 Introduction to dynamic weighing

This function can be applied for unstable and dynamic objects under non-stationary environmental conditions. For example, animal weighing holds the best example for dynamic weighing.

The balance works out an average weight based on the force exerted by the animal or any moving object over an extended period of time. This way, even if the animal fidgets or moves around, it can easily be weighed.

During a defined period, the mean value of the weighing results is formed. The more restless the weighing item, the longer duration should be selected.

• Click on the function menu from the main menu.

• The function list screen will open. Click on the dynamic function from the function list.

• The input screen appears. You can manually enter the duration of measurement in seconds, or you can choose the continuous mode.
