Counting
Purpose
With the Counting program you can determine the number of parts that each have approximately equal weight.
Available Features
– Store the current weight value to have it loaded as the preset reference sample quantity next time you initialize the Counting application
– The reference sample quantity can be changed in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– The average piece weight is automatically output via the optional data interface port after initialization, if the menu code for “Printout with data ID codes” is set
– Press v to toggle the display between piece count and weight
Factory Settings
Reference sample quantity: 10 (menu code 3. 3. 2)

Weighing in Percent
Purpose
This application program allows you to obtain weight readouts in percent which are in proportion to a reference weight.
Available Features
– Store the current weight value to have it loaded as the preset reference percentage next time you initialize the Weighing in Percent application
– The reference percentage can be changed in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– The reference percentage is automatically output via the optional data interface port after initialization, if the menu code for “Printout with data ID codes” is set
– Press v to toggle the display between percentage and weight
Factory Settings

Weigh Averaging
Purpose
Use this program to determine weights under unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the balance/scale calculates the weight as the average value from a defined number of individual weighing operations. These weighing operations are also known as “subweighing operations” or “subweighs.”
Available Features
– The measured result displayed is the arithmetic mean shown in the selected weight unit; a triangle indicates that this is a calculated value
– You can set the number of subweighing operations performed in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– Press v for at least 2 sec. to display the preset number of subweighing operations
– Press v to toggle the display between the calculated result and the weight
Factory Settings
Number of subweighs for averaging: 10 (3. 3. 2)
Preparation
§ Configure the Weigh Averaging application in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
Menu code 2. 1.12

See also “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
Example
Determine the weight of a sample in extremely unstable ambient conditions by calculating the average of 10 subweighing operations.
Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example):
Menu: Application program: Weigh Averaging (menu code 2. 1.12)
Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout
1. Turn on the balance/scale e
