>Is this fast measure mode something you can turn on or off? I didn't notice anything about that in the manual (a.k.a. sheet of paper).
It's present in the el-cheapo Chinese scales. You get it by hitting a
combination of buttons. The scale stays in that mode, I think, until
cancelled. I suspect it would drain the batteries rapidly. However,
it's just the thing you'd want for a computer interface.
You'd have to google the cheap Chinese scales for the details, I don't
have them handy at the moment.
