A weighing apparatus and method wherein an electrical analog signal, having a level representative of the weight of a load, is converted into a digital pulse train by an analog-to-digital converter. A counter for counting the converter-produced pulses is connected to one or more devices that provide a readout of the weight in visual and/or printed form. A program circuit is operatively connected to the converter and the counter, and selected circuit connections are made in the program for providing a selected one or more of the following conditions: (1) the division of the pulse train by a pre-selected divisor to count in only the quotient at the counter (2) the transfer of selected information from the counter to the readout devices to cause the weight to be read out by counting in any of a plurality of different increments such as ones, twos, or fives. Additional features pertain to tare circuits for taring the weight-representing signal.
