Axle Weighing
Axle weighing can be activated for Short or Long scales by adding one of the following lines to the
[Weigh Options] section of the TRANSACT.INI file. Refer to the Appendix on Editing the TransAct
Initilization File .
AxleWeighing=Short
AxleWeighing=Long
NOTE: Axle weighing is not an NTEP certifiable form of measurement. Therefore, individual
axle weights are not stored with the transaction. Only the total weight is stored with the
transaction.
When axle weighing is enabled, an Axle button for recording axle weights becomes available in
the Transaction Details form.
Short Bed Axle Weighing
Short bed axle weighing refers to a scale that is not long enough to weigh the entire truck at one time.
Each axle is weighed separately and added together to get the total weight of the truck.
Each time the Axle button is clicked, an axle weight is added to the Weight In or Out box. The
button can be clicked up to five times to add five axle weights together.
Figure 102. Adding Axle Weights in the Transaction Details Form
The Weigh window title bar displays each axle weight. To subtract the last axle weight, hold the Shift
key on the keyboard while clicking the Axle button.
Press the Store Ticket button when all axle weights have been added together.
