CALIBRATION APPARATUS FOR A FORCE MEASURING APPARATUS, AND FORCE MEASURING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to a calibration apparatus (40) for a force measuring apparatus (1), in particular a balance, having an electrically controllable force generating means (41) which can be coupled to a load cell (14) of a force measuring apparatus (1) in such a manner that a predefined force (Fc) can be supplied to the load cell (10), with the result that the load cell (10) generates a measurement signal (SF) which corresponds to the supplied force (Fc) and can be forwarded to a processing unit (60, PU) where it can be processed with respect to the predefined force (Fc). In this case, the calibration apparatus (40) has a calibration control unit (CCU) which is provided with at least one predefined parameter (P) which characterizes the force measuring apparatus (1) and/or the calibration apparatus (40), wherein the calibration control unit (CCU) can be connected to the processing unit (60, PU) via a communication link (52) in order to interchange information signals (SCD) with said processing unit, and the calibration control unit (CCU) is designed to use the information signals (SCD) and the parameter (P) to generate control signals in order to control the force generating means (41) therewith.
