Your Weight in Windows®

Cardinal’s WinDDE 2.0 Server communicates with

up to 20 weight indicators attached to a computer.

Weight indicators may be connected using standard

computer serial ports or via ethernet using TCP/IP. The

weight and status of the weight indicators is made

available to spreadsheets, databases, and industrial

control applications by means of Dynamic Data Ex-

change, or NetDDE for networked computers.

Microsoft Excel

, Microsoft Access

, Wonderware

InTouch

, Automation Direct

, Lookout Direct

, and

Rockwell Automation RSView

are just a few of the well-

known applications which can be used with WinDDE.

Weight and time stamp information may be automati-

cally captured to Excel

creating a new row of informa-

tion for each stable weight above threshold. Alterna-

tively, the capture feature may be based on the indica-

tor print button to capture a row of data each time the

print key is pressed on the indicator.
