A digital analytical balance is a modern electronic instrument that processes the weight measurement signal by digital/electronic methods. Digital analytical balances have a digital display where the result is displayed in numbers, in contrast to an analog balance where the result is read from the position of a pointer against a scale. The result on a digital display is unambiguous, whereas reading off an analog scale can give rise to subjective reading errors. However, with an analog scale, it is possible to determine measurement values in fractions of the scale intervals. The smallest possible increment on a digital analytical balance or an analog scale is known as the scale division, d.
