Standard deviation of taring.
This value defines the required
taring stability.
The deviation must not be greater
than the set value during the
measurement.

The time period for the measurement extends from 2 s to a maximum of 10 s if the required deviation is not achieved.
Generally, the highest accuracy of 0.1 mg should be the target value. It is only when this
value cannot be obtained (e.g. in the case of external vibrations) that larger values should
be chosen for the standard deviation.
However, this reduces the accuracy and reproducibility of the following measurements.
