Patent ID: 8290749

Claim:
A method for processing a signal in an electronic force-measuring device having a measurement transducer that generates a measurement signal corresponding to a force acting on the measurement transducer, comprising the steps of: passing the generated measurement signal to a display function, directly or by way of a pre-processing stage; assigning, in the display function, an output value to the generated measurement signal, where the display function has an input range comprising a capture range and the assigned output value is a common output value when the generated measurement signal lies within the capture range; controlling the position of the capture range, comprising the substeps of: determining a difference between the generated measurement signal and the assigned output value; integrating the determined differences over time to obtain an integral value based on the incremental determined differences; and using the integral value to control, in the display function, the position of the capture range; and passing the assigned output value from the display function to at least one of: a display and a unit for further processing.
