The bar display has brackets that show the expected range of the reading for the selected metal. For example, if the user selects pure gold as the metal, and pure gold is placed on the sensor, a value within the brackets will be shown. Virtually any other metal with a similar weight will fall far outside this range. If the actual reading does not correspond to the expected reading, the bar display will indicate the sample is questionable or not genuine.
