title: Reading, storing and statistical calculation of weight data.
abstract: A BASIC program is described which reads and computes weight data. Tara and gross weight data are read from an analytical balance. The net weights are calculated and stored on a disc. A statistical test (e.g. unpaired t-test or unpaired Wilcoxon test) can then be carried out with the weight data. The program calculates a descriptive statistic before the tests.
