6. FlintWeigh II Software Installation
The FlintWeigh II software displays the continuously measured weight value of the weighing system controller
within a graphical window in a legal for trade quality.
FlintWeigh II also provides an OLE interface. External programmes can access the data and information within
FlintWeigh II by using OLE functions. All windows and control buttons are part of the OLE interface.
By configuring two digital outputs and one digital input it is possible to implement a simple limit monitoring or
traffic light control.
6.1. Software Version
The software version is defined as follows:
NWxyF.exe with x = Main version no.
and y = Revision no. e.g.: NW11F.exe Main version no. 1, Rev. no. 1
6.2. Installation of FlintWeigh II
It is not required to install the FlintWeigh II software in the conventional way. Just copy the files "NW11F.exe"
and "nxWeigh.dll" to a directory of your choice. In this directory further configuration files will be created (see
below).
Hint: Your profile as a Windows user requires writing preferences for this installation directory.
When started for the first time FlintWeigh II should start with the language setting "English" (see chapter 8.2).
6.3. FlintWeigh II Files
In the FlintWeigh II software directory you can find the following files (some files may be hidden or protected
and therefore not visible):
NW11F.EXE FlintWeigh II main programme; can be used directly (EXE file) as weight display or for
service and calibration purposes. In weighing mode the main programme can communicate
to application programmes via its integrated OLE interface. If the OLE interface is in use the
FlintWeigh II software automatically starts in the weighing mode.
NW10.KEY This file will be created during the commissioning. It contains non-approved parameters and
settings like COM port, baud rate, remote display, language, filter settings, zero tracking,
etc.
NW10.INI This file will be created during the commissioning. It contains the path information to the
storage location of the alibi data.
NW10.LIM This file will be created during the commissioning. It contains the manual settings of the
digital outputs (setpoints).
NW10xx.CFG This file will be created during the commissioning. For diagnosis purposes it contains copies
of the calibration data, which are stored in the approved memory of the weighing system
controller.
Following files may be located in the FlintWeigh II software directory or somewhere else (see data memory
Server):
NW10.CNT Record counter (for multi scale systems), protected by CRC16 checksum
NWmmjj.MEM Alibi memory files, divided by month (mm = month, yy = year), protected by CRC16
checksum
