Abstract
A weighing apparatus by which a past record of measured weight values can be known later is provided. Weight measured by a weight sensor is inputted to a MPU via an I/O (input-output) unit. The MPU stores the inputted weight data in a memory together with the date and time which a timepiece circuit indicates, either when the MPU determines that the weight is being measured (for example, when the weight equals or exceeds a predetermined value) or when a command to record the weight data is given by an external unit such as a personal computer (PC) via an I/O unit. The stored weight data and date-time data are read from the memory by the MPU when a readout command is given by the external unit, and are outputted to the external unit via the I/O unit.
