Abstract
A method for adjusting a calibration arrangement of an electronic balance during the production process, wherein the calibration arrangement includes a transfer mechanism with a drive system, and wherein the calibration arrangement couples at least one calibration weight to the force-measuring device, said coupling being effected by the transfer mechanism transferring the calibration weight in a guided movement between a rest position and a calibration position. According to the method the distance between the end stops is determined by a counter system and stored into memory. Using the stored travel distance to calculate the rest position and the calibration position.
