31. tors Generally this is not a problem and you can press the ZERO button to return the reading to zero before weighing Zero tracking when enabled will detect small reading changes over time and correct the platform back to zero Consult the service manual for details on setup and configuration Software Filter The raw internal reading from the load sensor contains electronic noise and other factors that can cause the reading to be drifty and non repeatable All electronic scales incorporate some sort of filtering to compensate for this Another use for filtering is to help stabilize a scale when it is used on a surface that is vibrating in windy conditions when subjected to RF interference or when used on a noisy power line Your scale has two stages of filtering The first is a electronic filter that is permanently enabled and the second is the software filter which is fully configurable In general a low degree of filtering will cause the scale to be quick to react but prone to noise and vibrations Heavy filtering will eliminate the noise and vibrations but the platform will react slowly to changes in weight We have by default set up the optimum filtering parameters for general use These should only be changed in extreme circumstances There are four settable options on the setup screen To modify them use the left and right arrow keys to line up on the appropriate entry in the horizontal menu located at the bottom of the screen and then press E
