SENDING VALUES TO YOUR
SPREADSHEET APPLICATION PROGRAM
The PC interface program sends a single value (the main value on
your display) measured by your Scale Master II to your word-
processing program, a selected cell in your spreadsheet or estimating
software program, or any other Windows application that accepts
keyboard entry. The Interface program sends linear distances, areas,
volumes or counts directly to your PC.
To send a value to your PC, use the [SET] key located to the left of
the
Scale Master II ’s display and follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure your Scale Master II has the interface cable securely
connected to your SMII and to your PC’s serial or USB port.
2. Turn the Scale Master II on.
3. Open the application program (e.g., Excel spreadsheet or estimating
software program) you wish to send values to.
4. IMPORTANT: Insert your cursor or click in the desired cell where
you’d like to start. This is where the
SMII will send the first
measurement.
5. Select the desired measuring mode and scale on your Scale Master
II by pressing the [MODE] and [SCALE] keys. Press the red
[RESET] key to make sure the unit is cleared.
6. You’re ready to begin rolling and transferring values! Begin rolling a
distance on your blueprint (be sure to hold the unit upright while
rolling).
