Abstract

A weighing apparatus includes a load cell assembly with an elongated load cell body including a first three dimensional coordinate orientation defined by a first X-axis, a first Y-axis and a first Z-axis. An accelerometer unit is operatively connected to the elongated load cell body and having a second three-dimensional coordinate orientation defined by a second X-axis, a second Y-axis and a second Z-axis. A memory unit is mounted on the elongated load cell body, the memory unit storing data for aligning the second three-dimensional coordinate orientation of the accelerometer unit with the first three-dimensional coordinate orientation of the elongated load cell body.
