3.2 Sending Data to the Scale
As you can see in the scale communications window, you can either send all data or a selected
type of data only.
The procedure is as follows.
1. Click the button corresponding to the type of data you wish to send. This displays a
dialog asking whether to append the data being sent to the existing scale data or
whether to overwrite the existing scale data. Select the desired option, then click OK.
2. Next, the following dialog appears with instructions on how to setup the scale to receive
data.
Check that the cable connecting the PC to the scale is plugged in correctly.
Also, remove any keysheet from the Astra keyboard to expose the programming
keyboard.
Turn on the Astra and set to REGISTRATION mode (on the Astra keyboard, enter
9000, then press the MODE key).
3. Press the down arrow on the Astra keyboard until "communication" appears, then
press ENTER, followed by the down arrow. The scale should display "Receive Data".
4. Press ENTER again. The scale displays "Receiving" indicating that it is now ready to
receive data.
5. Go back to the PC and click the OK button in the above dialog to start sending. A
message appears when sending completes.
If communications fails, see "Troubleshooting" in Chapter 2 Getting Started.
