Method of initializing a balance with counting scale and balance with counting scale for carrying out the method
First Claim
1. Method of initializing a balance with counting scale in which a given quantity of the pieces to be counted is placed on the balance in order to determine the individual weight, characterized in that the pieces are placed individually in the balance until the given quantity is reached and that the standstill of the balance is awaited after each placing for a piece, the counting scale calculates the average value and the standard deviation from the determined individual weights of the placed-on pieces and subsequently requests other pieces if the counting precision resulting from the resolution of the balance, the given quantity and the calculated standard deviation is worse than a given counting precision.

Abstract
In known methods of initializing a balance with counting scale a given quantity of the pieces to be counted is placed on the balance at the same time and the average individual weight is calculated therefrom and used as a base for the following piece counts. In contrast thereto, the invention suggests that the pieces be placed individually on the balance and that the standstill of the balance be waited for after each placing of a piece. This makes it possible to also calculate the standard deviation in addition to the average value and statements concerning the counting precision can be made which are based on known statistical laws, so that counting errors can be avoided.
