    摘要: An electrical system having an analog-to-digital dual ramp converter wherein an analog input signal to be converted into recurrent digital form is applied to the input of the converter''s integrator circuit for a first, predetermined time interval and a known, predetermined analog reference signal is applied to the input of the integrator in response to a predetermined control signal for a second time interval that is proportional to the magnitude of the analog input signal. A series of sequentially occurring pulses of fixed time separation are produced by a pulse generator and are transmitted by a gate to a pulse counter. The gate, which is under the control of the integrator output, will be open for the two time intervals during which the integrator output deviates from a predetermined level in a predetermined direction. At the beginning of the first time interval the counter is reset to a predetermined starting count, and it will be driven by the gated generator-produced pulses to a predetermined intermediate scale count which is less than the full scale count. At this time, the previously mentioned control signal is supplied from the counter for applying the reference signal to the integrator. The control signal is also gated by a logic circuit to reset the counter. The logic circuit is conditioned by the reset signal and the occurrence of the control signal at the end of the first time interval to inhibit any reoccurrence of the control signal during the second time interval in which the counter is being driven by the generator-produced pulses to supply a digital output representing the magnitude of the analog input signal.

    摘要: A weighing apparatus and method wherein an electrical analog signal, having a level representative of the weight of a load, is converted into a digital pulse train by an analog-to-digital converter. A counter for counting the converter-produced pulses is connected to one or more devices that provide a readout of the weight in visual and/or printed form. A program circuit is operatively connected to the converter and the counter, and selected circuit connections are made in the program for providing a selected one or more of the following conditions: (1) the division of the pulse train by a pre-selected divisor to count in only the quotient at the counter (2) the transfer of selected information from the counter to the readout devices to cause the weight to be read out by counting in any of a plurality of different increments such as ones, twos, or fives. Additional features pertain to tare circuits for taring the weightrepresenting signal.

    摘要: An electrical load cell-type weighing system having a plurality of load cells supporting a load-receiving structure and providing electrical potentials, the sum of which is a function of the weight of a load applied to the load-receiving structure. Summing resistor networks directly connect the load cell bridges independently of each other to a summing junction of a single ended operational summing amplifier. The potentials produced by the load cells are algebraically summed at the summing junction. Another disclosed feature pertains to a defective load cell testing circuit comprising a switch for selectively providing a short circuit connection across the output terminals of each load cell bridge to determine whether the load cell is defective. Another feature pertains to a special operational amplifier summing network which selectively provides weight measurements in different units of mass such as pounds and kilograms.
