o View Statistics: This menu option selects the meter’s statistical analysis
option.
Selecting this option gives the user access to two sets of statistical data. A
screen shot example of the first set is shown below:
o The first line indicates the Moisture Content (MC) job being analyzed.
o The second line shows the number of readings stored in the specific job
o The third line shows the Average MC value for all stored readings in the
specific job.
o The fourth line shows the Standard Deviation for the specific job.
o The fifth line shows the Coefficient of Variation for the specific job.
o Selecting “DONE” returns the user to the storage menu screen.
Selecting “MORE” gives the user access to the second set of statistical
data.
NOTE: The second set of calculations may require significant processing time,
depending on the number of readings stored in the specific job. The meter will
display a screen with the word “PROCESSING…” while calculations take place.
User input is ignored during this time. Control is returned to the user once the
algorithm is complete and the second statistics screen is shown, as in the
example below:
o The first line indicates the specific MC job.
o The second line indicates the number of readings present in the specific
job.
o The third line shows the 95% Confidence Interval for the specific job. This
is the value (+/-) away from the calculated average value within which
95% of the stored readings are guaranteed to exist.
o The fourth line shows the value of the lowest MC reading stored in the
specific job.
