 +1 Good Answer/Helpful		 #184503 - Priorities...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I do not understand your priorities, Zeeshan. Here in Germany we develop products that WORK and we choose the measuring principles and components that are needed to make it WORK. Anything else makes no sense. If you develop a product that does not work, you will get fired and leave the business like a pilot the cockpit via catapult seat.

So, start to think about what is NEEDED and not what is looking nice or wouldn't cost too much efforts.

Make a product for industrial weighing scale applications OR make a product for laboratory weighing scale applications. These are two completely different jobs. There isn't a universal solution for both, that's ridiculous.

If you know, that a load cell can and will fail, then your product must be able to DETECT the failure and to CORRECT it. So, the "solution" with the simple summing OPamp is worthless junk! And if you finally want to go that way, then you have wasted our all time here...

Zeeshan, start to DEVELOP and stop to TAKE SHORTCUTS!
