Method for processing the output signal of a transducer and force measuring device

The method involves producing a measuring signal (ms-E) representing a load acting on a measurement transducer, and filtering the measuring signal. The measuring signal is monitored in a detector module (151) incorporated in a controller unit (15) to detect signal disturbances. A changeover switch (142) is actuated to interrupt the delivery of the measuring signal to a measurement value unit (145) and to send an output signal (ms-X) of the measurement value unit to a module of a force-measuring device. An independent claim is also included for a device for measuring a force.
