Abstract
After power supply, a CPU, serving as warm-up duration calculation means, calculates duration for warm-up operation from temperature characteristic data of a load detection part on the basis of a power shut down duration, for notifying it's warm-up operation state by a display device on the basis of the calculated duration for warm-up operation.
Claims9
An electronic balance/scale comprising:
- a memory device storing data or a function related to a temperature characteristic of a load detection part;
- warm-up duration calculation means reading the data or the function stored in the memory device at the time of power supply for calculating a warm-up duration necessary for the load detection part to reach a thermally stable state in response to the state of the load detection part at the time of power supply on the basis of the data or the function;
- and
- notifying means notifying whether or not it is in warm-up operation on the basis of the warm-up duration calculated by the warm-up duration calculation means.
