Use the built-in RS-232 Port to connect either to a computer or a printer.
If connecting to a computer, use HyperTerminal or similar software like SPDC
described below.
(Find HyperTerminal under Accessories/Communications in Windows XP.)
Connect to the computer with a standard (straight-through) serial cable.
Choose New Connection, "connect using" COM1 (or available COM port).
Select Baud=9600; Parity=8 None; Stop=1; Handshaking=None. Click OK.
Choose Properties/Settings, then ASCII Setup. Check boxes as illustrated:
(Send line ends...; Echo typed characters...; Wrap lines...)
Use RS232 Interface Commands (Section 9.6.1) to control the balance from a PC.
SPDC Software
The Serial Port Data Collection / SPDC software is provided by Ohaus and can be used on operating systems that
do not have the HyperTerminal software mentioned above. SPDC software can preliminarily collect and transfer
the data to Microsoft files (such as Excel, Word, etc.).
