Abstract
An electronic balance having a stored setup routine for defining scale operating parameters. An indicating device, which may be interchangeably connected to a plurality of weighing platforms, is responsive to an identifying connector to select from a memory operating parameters related to an operational characteristic of the weighing platform during the setup routine. A plurality of multi-function manually actuated buttons permit user selection of operating parameters during the setup routine. A sealable switch is used to restrict access to the setup routine. The balance operates in weighing or parts counting modes and can display weight in the parts counting mode. The balance can also provide a user with an indication of whether a dead-load or span adjustment is necessary.
