Target weight calculation
When not using a target weight curve, the new target weight is calculated every two hours according to
the new weights as follows:
• Every two hours, new target weight = [average 0.5 • (weight gain of last 2 hours)] if at least 30
valid weights have been measured in the last two hours. • If the new target weight is smaller than the cur-
rent average weight (because of a negative weight gain) then it is set to the current average weight (nega-
tive weight gain is not applied)
• If the actual average weight is smaller by 5% or more than yesterday’s average weight at the same wall
clock time, and it is not the first weighing day, then the new target weight is 0.95 • yesterday’s average
weight.
• For the first weighting day (or first 24 hours) the target weight can only increase or stay equal.
