Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to perform sensitivity calibration by using a specified weight having an arbitrary weight value, by inputting the measured weight value of the arbitrarily selected weight, memorizing the value, and computing a sensitivity coefficient by using said value and the output of a load detector part. CONSTITUTION:When a tare erasing switch 6 is turned ON, the display value of the measured value on a display 4 becomes 0. Then, a reference weight is mounted on a measuring pan 1a and a calibration instruction switch 7 is turned ON. A control part 3 executes the mode, which updates a sensitivity coefficient. Namely, the reference weight stored in a nonvolatile RAM3d is retrieved, the converted digital value of the output from a load detecting part 1 is read out and the sensitivity coefficient is computed. When an unknown weight is mounted on the measuring pan 1a, the output of the load detecting part 1 is multiplied by the sensitivity coefficient, and the measured value is displayed on a display 4.

(F) Effects As explained above, according to the present invention, sensitivity calibration can be performed using, for example, an inexpensive weight of any weight that is mass-produced to approximately constant dimensions as a reference weight, so that it is possible to calibrate the sensitivity as a standard weight. There is no need for expensive reference weights whose weights are strictly regulated. Therefore, the user can calibrate the sensitivity at any time using, for example, the standard weight that comes with the electronic balance without purchasing an expensive standard weight, and can use the electronic balance with the weight always held. can. Note that the reference weight can be arbitrarily created by preparing a suitable weight on the user side, accurately measuring its weight, and inputting it from the keyboard 5.
