  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCALE CALIBRATION
    Publication number: 20230251125
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scale calibration. One example embodiment provides a system for calibrating a scale. The system may generally include an actuator for applying force to a platform of the medical scale, and an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the actuator. The electronic processor may be configured to control an actuator to apply, for a first interval, a first applied force having a first value greater than a target force value, and control the actuator to apply, for a second interval, a second applied force having a second value substantially equal to the target force value.
    Type: Application
