Re: Interfacing with a Scale

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can usually do this with an ICF file and RPG program. You would need
an Asynchronous line description, controller and device. You'll have to
know the protocol of the scale. Usually the manufacturer will have a set
of control codes that allow you to connect to the scale, reset the
weight, read the weight, etc.

Hope this helps!
