Abstract: A weighing apparatus comprises a plurality of load cells and a load platform, supported by the load cells. The apparatus includes means associated with each load cell to supply a digital representation of the load on each load cell. The load cells are connected together to form a communication network. In the network, a digital representation of the load on each load cell is generated, and a correction coefficient of the digital representation for each cell is determined. The correction coefficient is stored in each respective load cell, and again of each load cell is varied according to its correction coefficient to generate a correct digital representation of the load for each load cell.
