1. A method for correction of drift phenomena in an electronic force-measuring device that comprises a measuring transducer through which a measuring signal is formed which is representative of a load applied to the force-measuring device, which measuring signal is delivered to a signal-processing unit that is supported by at least one processor and serves to process digital signals, said signal-processing unit being capable of compensating drift deviations, for which purpose the processor accesses drift parameters that are stored in a memory unit and that serve as a basis for calculating a time-dependent correction value by which the drift error of the measuring signal is corrected, the processor and the signal-processing unit being under the control of an optimization program that is stored in the memory unit, the method comprising: automatically determining, at time intervals that are either controlled automatically or chosen by the user, new optimized values for the drift parameters from at least one uncorrected or only partially corrected amplitude profile that was stored previously or at the current time, from a corresponding amplitude/time value pair of the measuring signal, or from a signal profile; and storing said new optimized values for the drift parameters are stored in the memory unit.
