<p>A method of weighing using an electronic scale includes the steps of periodically providing digital values each of which is an instantaneous representation of the weight of an object placed upon a load plate (26), and storing each such digital value in a RAM (64). Successive digital values are compared for similarity within a given tolerance to enable a determination to be made as to when the scale has stabilized following the placing of an object on the load plate (26). The overall range of the scale is divided into various regions based upon frequency of use and reliability of readings. To bring about the display of a weight on a display (32), the fewest consecutive similar digital values are required for that scale region of most frequent use and greatest reliability, thereby minimizing the time required for completing the weighing of objects having weights falling within that region.</p> |
