Weigh / Weigh-In / Weigh-Out

The Weigh/Weigh-In/Weigh-out program uses the database (ID) memory for single step

weighing and two step weigh-in / weigh-out transactions. Vehicle ID records can be

created “on the fly” using the Weigh or Weigh-In functions. Use the ID TABLES

function key to create Product and Customer ID records before weighing if they are

needed.
