Abstract
Systems and methods for electronic scale auto-zeroing. One example system includes a load cell coupled to a platform of the scale and an electronic processor coupled to the load cell. The processor is configured to receive an activation command activating the scale and, responsive to receiving the command, initiate a powerup zeroing function. The processor is configured to receive, from the load cell, a first signal indicative of a force applied to the platform and, responsive to receiving the first signal, determine whether the force applied to the platform of the scale exceeds a threshold. The processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the force exceeds the threshold: cancel the powerup zeroing function, and calculate a weight based on the first signal. The processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the force does not exceed the threshold, complete the powerup zeroing function.
