Abstract

An electronic scale having an integrated computer with an input unit for entering selection data, a memory for storing a plurality of parameter values, which can be assigned to function-specific parameters dependent on the entered selection data, a data processing unit for executing weighing applications dependent on a subset of the function-specific parameters and at least one interface for interacting with mechanical and/or electronic components dependent on a subset of function-specific parameters. A plurality of different profiles (24; 24′) can be stored as individual parameter value sets to adapt to user-specific and/or application-specific requirements. Selecting a specific profile (24; 24′) causes a joint assignment of the values contained therein to the corresponding parameters. The parameters are assigned to a plurality of non-overlapping parameter groups (26, 28, 30), each individual profile (24′) only contains those values that can be assigned to the parameters of precisely one parameter group (26, 28, 30), and each parameter group (26, 28, 30) can be assigned the parameter values of at least one profile (24).
