Glossary of Terms
Accuracy The degree of conformity of a measured value to the true value.
APW A scale feature whereby the scale uses a preliminary average piece weight to
Enhancement count parts, allowing the operator to increase the sample size without hand
counting. When the targeted sample size is obtained the average piece
weight is recalculated for final counting with greater precision.
Average The value calculated by dividing the quantity of parts in the sample into the
Piece Weight weight of the sample. This value is stored in the scale and divided into the
weight of the bulk load to provide a total count.
Base The portion of the scale that receives the load to be weighed.
Baud Rate The rate at which a scale transmits or receives information to or from a
computer or peripheral device.
Controller The portion of the scale that includes the keypad, display, battery status LED’s
and ports for communicating with the scale base and peripheral devices.
Counting The largest number of pieces that can be shown on the controller’s display.
Capacity
Counting (Also, “internal counting resolution” or “internal resolution”)The ratio of a
Resolution scale’s capacity to the weight of the lightest part placed on a scale’s weighing
element which can be counted in increments of one part.
Displayed The ratio of the weighing capacity of the scale to its readablility.
Resolution
Display The tendency of a scale, with a fluctuating reading, to stabilize on the most
Hysteresis consistent value.
Dual A counting system usually involving a low capacity local base for sampling
Scale System and a high capacity remote base for weighing the bulk load.
Gross Weight The weight of the contents (net weight) combined with the weight of its
container (tare weight).
ID Abbreviation for “identifier”. An identifier can be a part number, lot number, or
item description and can be entered into one of several available fields in the data
base.
Kitting The counting procedure that involves repeatedly counting out small quantities of a
given part to be packaged with other parts that will be used together in an assembly.
