The extra-large backlit LCD makes for easy reading. This scale has an advanced parts counting mode with adjustable sample sizes and adjustable error levels. It also has adjustable auto-off times, adjustable programming and much more. This new 2007 model reads in 9 Standard modes for a wide array of uses. It has a full capacity TARE feature (this means you can place a bowl on the scale with a weight of 30g, then press TARE and the display will return to 0.00, then you can place a new item in the bowl and the weight of that item alone will show on the display)
