Hi Jeff It is why we chose them, partly for their accuracy, and partly because we both like Caretec products. You can set the date and time, and there is a timer too. We only received them a few days ago, so haven't played about too much, but they are very nice and handy. The ouch part is that they cost £115 from Force Ten Co, and I think Steve Nutt of Computer Room Services is also a Caretec dealer, so take your pick. I hope this info helps.

The reason why I ask is, that I am new to all this and when I looked at talking scales at the rnib they were very poor.
