Abstract

When the difference between the weight proportional signal and the tare value is less than a predetermined threshold value, it is assumed that the zero point is changing. Main difference signals less than the threshold signal are stored and subsequently generated ones algebraically added to the first one. The so-created cumulative difference signal is compared to a predetermined limiting value. When it exceeds the limiting value the cumulative difference signal is divided by the number of differences which together created the cumulative difference signal. The so-formed average difference signal is added to the tare value prior to generation of the next main difference signal.
