Abstract

An electronic balance having a strain gauge transducer. The analog output signal of the transducer is processed digitally so that the displayed weight is based on several successive digitized analog signal samples. Various operating parameters (e.g., conversion factors for several different units of weight) are stored in a non-volatile memory so that the scale can perform various weighing functions. The scale has a parts counter mode of operation requiring re-taring of the parts container whenever the scale is recalibrated for a different individual part weight.
