Averaging level compensates for vibration or
excessive air currents. During operation, the
balance continually takes weight readings from
the weighing cell. Successive readings are then
digitally processed to achieve a stabilized display. Use this submenu to specify how much
processing you need to obtain stable results.
NOTE : Averaging level does not affect balance accuracy.
Select one of three averaging levels using the adjacent table as a guide.
