Abstract:
1. An electronic scale having an integrated computer, comprising: an input unit to input selection data, a memory to store a plurality of parameter values, which are assigned to function-specific parameters dependent on the selection data entered, a data processing unit to execute weighing applications dependent on a subset of the function-specific parameters, at least one interface to interact with at least one of mechanical and electronic components in accordance with another subset of the function-specific parameters, wherein, in accordance with at least one of user-specific and application-specific requirements, a plurality of different profiles are stored in the memory as respective sets of the parameter values, wherein selection, by a user, of a specific profile from the plurality of profiles causes the parameter values contained in the specific profile to be jointly assigned to the corresponding ones of the function-specific parameters, wherein the function-specific parameters are assigned to a plurality of mutually non-overlapping parameter groups, wherein each respective profile contains only those parameter values which are assigned to the parameters of exactly one parameter group, and wherein each parameter group is assigned the parameter values of at least one profile.
