that operate in parallel in such a case the local interface 407 may be an appropriate network that facilitates communication between any two of the multiple processors between any processor and any one of the memories or between any two of the memories etc the processor 402 may be of electrical or optical construction or of some other construction as can be appreciated by those with ordinary skill in the art stored in the memory 404 are both data and several components that are executable by the processor 402 in particular stored in the memory 404 and executable by the processor 402 may be programming logic 110 and potentially other applications also stored in the memory 404 may be a data store 111 storing for example general data concerning reference numbers weight readings or values acquired for a starting probe assembly weight readings or values acquired during balancing of a probe assembly and other data in addition an operating system may be stored in the memory 404 and executable by the processor 402 it is understood that there may be other applications that are stored in the memory 404 and are executable by the processor 402 as can be appreciated such as an operating system where any component discussed herein is implemented in the form of software any one or more of a number of programming languages may be employed such as for example c c c objective c java u00ae javascript u00ae perl.
