Touch Control:
Under RS-232 select the RS-232 interface at the RS-232/USB Box
which is used to connect the balance.
Select the RS-232/USB Box in the device manager and open the list
with the available RS-232 interfaces with [Edit]. Select the
interface to which the balance is connected. Open the dialog with
the port parameters with [Edit] and configure these. The settings
on the balance must agree with these settings here. A description of
the parameters can be found in the online help.
Note!
In case of communication problems you can try using the software
handshake.
The sample size is transferred as a number with up to ten places, sign
and decimal point. Units transmitted by the balance will also be
transferred. Control characters will not be transferred. With some
balances it is also possible to transmit the sample identification and
method from the balance as well as the sample size. When editing the
sample data in the sample data silo all the data can be transmitted
from the balance (see Section 3.19.3). In some cases a special input
unit may be necessary; this can be supplied by the balance
manufacturer.
In order to do this the following addresses for the identifications and
methods must first be selected:
