(* Also known as a lever-ratio, pivot point, or trunion scale.)
Here is a list of belt-scale codes for non-pivoting scales. (For a complete
list of belt-scale codes, see
Table A–1 in Appendix A.)

Non-pivoting belt-scale codes*: 43–53, 60, 214, 215.
(* Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, because newer or
custom scales are not listed.)
We suggest you print or photocopy this page and insert the required data
into the table below. Doing so will save you considerable time when you
come to initialize the Micro-Tech software.

* The example above, including the defaults, is for belt-scale code 49. Your weighing
system will, most likely, have a slightly
different list of required parameters and defaults.
