Term Definition
Count-by The smallest change in weight units that the display can show. See also
Resolution.
Division A single graduation.
EEPROM Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
EMC Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Regulation
FIR Finite Impulse Response
Full Scale The maximum gross weight allowed on the scale. This is used to detect
overload and underload conditions, etc.
Graduations The maximum number of display steps between zero gross load and full
capacity gross load. It is equal to the full scale divided by the resolution.
LED Light Emitting Diode
NTEP National Type Evaluation Program
OIML International Organization of Legal Metrology
PLC Programmable Logic Controller
Range Total change in weight between zero gross load and full capacity gross load
(i.e. the nominated total capacity of the scale). It is always given in displayed
weight units.
Resolution The smallest change in weight units that the display can show. See also
Count-by.
RFI Radio Frequency Interference
Rin
Network
netwo

Optical
Communications
Cable
Opto-isolated infrared communications cable which uses a magnetically
coupled head to attach to the front of the instrument
RS-232 Standard for communications hardware layers.
Step-Response The step-response is the time between placing a weight on the scale and the
correct weight reading being displayed.
Transients A temporary voltage oscillation or spike caused by a sudden change of load
(or other external influence).
Units The actual units of measurement (kilograms, tonnes, pounds, etc.).
