Claim 6

Measuring apparatus with a balance having a digitial display for the results of function sequences occurring in succession from a menu offered by the software of the apparatus, comprising: means for implementing the functions and including selection keys corresponding to the complete menu of the apparatus, a matrix which retains one sequence determined on the basis of function sequences of previously run operations and automatically suggest this sequence to the operator by activating or displaying to the operator at least one function key corresponding to this determined sequence for the next following step, a plausibility matrix which checks prior to the running of a function if the function can be executed; and a control key operative to interrupt the automatically suggested sequence at any time and to allow the selection of an arbitrary function from the complete menu.

Claim 7

The measuring apparatus of claim 4, wherein the matrix is an experience matrix which determines the function sequence most used during previous operations and automatically suggests the corresponding function sequence to the operator.

Claim 8

The measuring apparatus of claim 4, wherein the respective inverse function is available for any of the functions.

Claim 9

Apparatus having a display for the results of function sequences occurring in succession from a variety of function sequences which can be run by the apparatus independently from each other, comprising: means for implementing the function and including function selection keys corresponding to the complete scope of functions of the apparatus, matrix-like organized storage blocks that retain one sequence based on the function sequences of previously run operations and automatically suggest this sequence to the operator by activation or displaying at least one function key corresponding to this sequence for the next step; a control key operative to interrupt the automatically suggested sequence at any time and to allow the selection of an arbitrary function of the complete scope of functions; and a predetermined function selecting key for the triggering of the next function of a determined function sequence, said selecting key being indicated by a variable label determined by the function sequence.

Claim 10

Apparatus having a display for the results of function sequences occurring in succession from a variety of function sequences which can be run by the apparatus independently from each other, comprising: means for implementing the function and including function selection keys corresponding to the complete scope of functions of the apparatus, matrix-like organized storage blocks that retain one sequence based on the function sequences of previously run operations and automatically suggest this sequence to the operator by activation or displaying at least one function key corresponding to this sequence for the next step; a control key operative to interrupt the automatically suggested sequence at any time and to allow the selection of an arbitrary function of the complete scope of functions; and a predetermined function selecting key for the triggering of the next function of a determined function sequence, said selecting key being indicated by a variable label determined by the function sequence.

Claim 11

Measuring apparatus with a balance having a digital display for the results of function sequence occurring in succession from a menu offered by the software of the apparatus, comprising: means for implementing the functions and with selection keys corresponding to the complete menu of the apparatus, a matrix which retains one sequence determined on the basis of function sequences of previously run operations and automatically suggest this sequence to the operator by activating or displaying to the operator at least one function key corresponding to this determined sequence for the next following step; a control key operative to interrupt the automatically suggested sequence at any time and to allow the selection of an arbitrary function form the complete menu; and a predetermined function selecting key for the triggering of the next function of a determined function sequence, said selecting key being indicated by a variable label determined by the function sequence.

Claim 12

Measuring apparatus with a balance having a digital display for the results of function sequence occurring in succession from a menu offered by the software of the apparatus, comprising: means for implementing the functions and with selection keys corresponding to the complete menu of the apparatus, a matrix which retains one sequence determined on the basis of function sequences of previously run operations and automatically suggest this sequence to the operator by activating or displaying to the operator at least one function key corresponding to this determined sequence for the next following step; a control key operative to interrupt the automatically suggested sequence at any time and to allow the selection of an arbitrary function form the complete menu; and a predetermined function selecting key for the triggering of the next function of a determined function sequence, said selecting key being indicated by a variable label determined by the function sequence.
