*1 The greater the number of samples, the more
averaged weight is saved, contributing to the
reduction of counting errors.
*2 If [
] appears in the operations of (3) and (4)
and, thereafter, the [
] mark lights up at the lower
left of the display, it indicates a potential for counting
errors due to lightweight samples. If that is the
case, executing the “Memory Update Method”
described in the following subsection will help
improve the counting accuracy.
