The Star Micronics [mG-T Series Weight Scale][1] is Star Micronic's first foray into the weight scale market. It offers solid performance and a selection of options to meet a range of use cases and price points. The MG-T is built primarily for use in Retail POS applications like grocery stores, places like mail rooms or shipping bays, and for wholesale cannabis operations. But it’s useful anywhere that you’re needing to weigh items and have it read out to a computer.

There are three different models available in the mG-T class of scales. All models have Class 3 accuracy and are NTEP and Measurement Canada Certified. The big difference between all of them is their weight capacity. The [mG-T12][2] is rated for 12-pound weight capacity and is readable in increments of 0.05oz or 1 gram at a time. The [mG-T30][3] has a 30-pound weight capacity and is readable in 0.1oz or 2 grams increments. Finally, the [mG-T60][4] has a 60-pound capacity and is readable up to 0.2 oz or 5 grams at a time.

If the above models aren't precise enough - there is one other series of scale's in Star's offering. The [mG-S Series][6] of scales are built for use cases where precision is key. Key industries for this series of scales include cannabis stores, the pharmaceutical industry, pawn shops, and jewelry stores. With these scales, you’re going to be able to measure things down to one-hundredth of a gram at a time depending on the model.

Jumping back to the MG-T: the unit was built for easy use with POS software applications. Connection to a computer can be made either over RS-232 or with Bluetooth. On top of this, Star offers a series of software development packages for iOS/Android devices. The scale also supports the data output tool and OPOS registers for Windows devices.

Other notable features on this scale include a self-leveling bubble under the metal tray pan and a set of four adjustable feet for easy leveling. The scale's display features a backlit LCD screen which we found to be easily visible in any lighting condition. The lack of a native external display accessory or an adjustable bracket means that it is sometimes difficult to read the scale readout if you're looking down at it. The scale can export its readouts to an external display with purpose-built software, but this can be a challenge for anyone not using a software package.
