Section 4: User Operations 4.1. INTRODUCTION The Omega Series Counting Scale is a weighing device that displays the number of similar items in a group based upon the weight of a known sample. – The counting feature of this scale calculates the average piece weight for the items by using the total weight of the sample and dividing that number by the number of items in the sample.
