Typical load cell characteristics are listed and some factors concerning loading are given. An all-electronic system for digitizing the output of load cells directly is described, and details are given of some basic systems used to obtain control and information facilities from the digital weight-signals, with some fundamentals of the binary arithmetic used. Some weighing applications are mentioned and a computer-controlled weighing system is briefly described.
