The Auto Optimization feature improves counting accuracy:
it automatically re-calculates the piece weight as parts are
added. By default APW Optimization is Off.
When a new APW is established, APW Optimization occurs
when the number of pieces added to the pan is between one
and three times the number already on the pan. The screen
momentarily indicates Auto Optimization in the information
line.

Establish an Average Piece Weight (APW)
Each time a new type of part is counted, the nominal weight of
one piece (Average Piece Weight or APW) must be established
using a small quantity of pieces. This APW is stored until
replaced by another APW.
There are two methods to establish the APW value:
1. The actual APW is known; or
2. The APW must be derived by weight. For this case the
current sample size will be used
To choose a different value, establish it beforehand, using the Sample Size button. (See below.)
