The name should identify the scale, for example: Scale1, Scale2, Inbound, Outbound. If you are using a laptop and are connecting to scales at different location that are not identical, you could use the location name to identify the definition.

 

The type should match the indicator that is connected to your scale. You may need to contact us or the service technician that looks after your scale for help determining which Type you should use.

 

If you need to, adjust the Baud rate, Parity, Data bit and Stop bit settings so that they match the settings used by your indicator. Again, you may need to contact us or your service technician for help.
