Minimal Weight Indicator Sample Program

This is an example of a very simple weight indicator program to display the gross weight. "Zero" and "Quit" buttons are provided. This is a minimal program for demonstration purposes. An application to be used in a production environment should have additional code to display scale status such as "Motion" and blank weight display on over capacity or weight error.
