does this measure/capture peak weight? Does this need to be calibrated? if so, what weights are needed to calibrate?

not necessarily peak weight but when it stabilizes. I checked it with items of known weight and it was very accurate.

I don't think it captures peak weight, I use it for real-time readings. As far as calibrating, you leave it idle, and it "zeros out", then you put it in use.

I purchased this scale as a teaching tool. Since receiving your question I have been using calibrated weights to check accuracy and it has been spot on. I have also rigged an apparatus that allows us to weigh odd shaped items such as a flake of hay and I have found this scale to very handy in the barn. I do not know how to calibrate it and it is clearly marked "not legal for trade" I hope this is useful.

I'm sorry - I do not use it for weighing things that accurately. I believe it does, though, from what other people said.

It's pretty accurate. You just have to be sure that it is on level ground. If it isn't, your weight will be different every single time.

As far as I know, it records the last weight measured and compare it with the current weight measured. It does not records anything specific to a person.

It will stay set for grams... What ever weight measurment type you used when you turn it off will be teh one it starts up with. It also sets itself off if you don't use.. Good little unit.

There is no calibration to this scale. It does have a ZERO or TARE setting so you can adjust for containers. Hope this helps

Well...it calibrates to a given 1 gram weight, and once calibrated it gives precise weights on other known items as well...down to fractions of a grain. It also repeats those measurements. I don't know the factory tolerances but for my usage its more than accurate (and repeatable) enough.

copy this : weighmax 2822-75lb postal shipping scale calibration - into your google search window, & read the manufacture's PDF. You will also see a youtube link appear with your search results, & it covers calibration. I already posted some advice on what to use as a calibration weight ( if you need info on that ). Mine needed no calibration to begin with, & still has no calibration issues.

Mine came with a 100 Gram weight to calibrate... I let something a bit heavier sit on it the other day and say a number in the 300's and it blanked. On the box there are 2 "check boxes", a 100 Gram Capacity and a 200 Gram Capacity. My check box is the 100 gram version. Again though, I have mistakenly seen over 300 on mine (causing blank), I just don't know that it was accurate as I wasn't trying to get a measurement.

You should. It's calibrated from the factory but you won't know how long it's sat in some warehouse. If you care about getting the most from what you're weighing than definitely get the calibration weight.

No, It only measures by the cup. You can adjust the amount the cup will dispense with a knob so I think you could calibrate, with a scale, the amount that is dispensed by weight. I bought this machine because it is excellent in it's consistency of the grind and the and the amount it dispenses.

According to the User Manual, the scale can be calibrated. We have tried the feature, just for fun, and by using a 100 g. weight, it gets calibrated automatically. Simple to follow instructions.

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

Yes. It allows you to set up the container and reset it to zero. Then you can have an accurate weight.

You don't have to calibrate. It only measures in grams. I use it to measure coffee by taring it with the empty container from my grinder and then adding however many beans I want (for me, usually 17 grams) and then run the measured beans through the grinder. I also put my chemex on this to measure how much water I'm adding.

yes it does. should weigh 5 grams.also it comes with weights if u need to calibrate it.

It changes until it senses the weight has stabilized. There are very few buttons so I highly doubt that can be done. If you are looking for a scale to measure things as you add to it, like a kitchen scale, I would not get this for that.
