Modifying the resolution
The resolution is the amount that the scale will increment by as weight is added.
For example, if the animal weighs under 500 lb (or under 200 kg) the weight will be displayed in the nearest one
pound (or 0.5 kg) resolution. If the animal weighs between 500-1000 lb (or 200-500 kg), the weight will be shown
in the nearest two pound (or 1 kg) resolution. The default resolutions are listed below; however, you can change the
minimum weighing resolution in Data Link. Click
Changing the resolution may cause the scale to take longer to stabilize on a weight.
