Hey everyone! Quick question about counts: We have an Ohaus Explorer Pro scale that has a range of 0-8100 grams, with readability of 0.1grams. So this would mean the load cell has a total of 81,000 used counts? An OEM machine we have utilizes one of these scales, and the scale communicates to the PC via RS-232. The PC is a 386, which has a 16-bit bus, correct? The program which receives data from the scale and then makes calculations based on those readings uses the "tenths" decimal place. How can the 81,000 counts be used without some rounding at 16 bit or even 32 bit in the computer architecture? Am I missing something?
TIA,
Greg
