Abstract
A method and apparatus for initiating a weighing scale operation, including a quick start program operable either by the tare key of the weighing scale or by the application of a load to the load-receiving member of the scale to by-pass a start-up test program, and to connect directly a weighing program to a display, thereby to avoid the display and confirmation of a start-up test program. Upon the reenergization of the signal processing unit following a power failure, the test program is automatically displayed on the display device.
