I've never heard of an electronic measuring device that wasn't subject to the ambient conditions it was placed in.
Strain gauges (and springs) are sensitive to the ambient temperature of their surroundings. Bathroom scales (analog or digital) along with the most expensive corner weights measuring devices, as far as I know, are influenced by the ambient temperatures. I had to calibrate my go power dyno, which used a strain gauge, to the ambient temperature every time I used it. How can these expensive corner weight scales be any different? Do they have some sort of calibration procedure they use?
