Abstract
A scale and scanner system includes a controller to control operation of the scale and scanner system. A scale calibration parameter memory for storing scale calibration parameters is coupleable to the controller. A scanning module and a scale module are coupleable to the controller. When the controller is not coupled to the scanning module or scale module, the scale calibration parameter memory remains in the system.
Claims5
A method comprising:
- generating scale calibration parameters;
- storing the scale calibration parameters in a non-transitory controller memory and a non-transitory scale calibration parameter memory that is physically separate from the non-transitory controller memory, wherein the non-transitory scale calibration parameter memory is located in a scale module cover for a scale module or the non-transitory scale calibration parameter memory is located in a cable that connects the scale module to a scale, wherein the non-transitory controller memory is located within a controller on a bottom of a scanner module;
- and
- if it is determined that the non-transitory controller memory has been removed or serviced, retrieving the scale calibration parameters from the non-transitory scale calibration parameter memory after the non-transitory controller memory has been returned to the system.
