In the electronic balance according to the present invention, in the menu list in which basic menu list information wherein predetermined many menu items are tree-structured and user menu list information stored in a nonvolatile memory when a user registers at will a calculation function or other functions which the user frequently uses are incorporated, it is possible to select an intended menu item, by moving in the same layer and moving to the lower layer step by step in accordance with a predetermined key operation. Since the setting/cancellation of the menu item, e.g. the function 8, that the user often uses is provided in the lower layer of my menu which has a high priority, it is possible to select it with a small number of key operations compared to the case where the selection is performed by following the tree structure step by step, e.g. from the menu group 2 to the function 8. This increases the efficiency of the operation, and since the operation is simple, the user can operate without referring to an operation manual. Since no change of the order or the like occurs in the basic menu list other than the user menu list 29, it is possible to perform the selection of the menu item in such a list with a conventional operation.
An electronic balance for performing an averaging procedure on data obtained in a load detector by an arithmetic processor to determine a measurement value and for displaying it on a display, and the electronic balance being capable of, regarding a menu list in which menu items for setting/cancelling various functions including a selection of a calculation function performed by the arithmetic processor and a setting of a condition for performing the function are tree-structured, selecting an intended menu item by following the tree structure step by step through an operation of a key switch, comprising:
