• A spreadsheet cell, such as A1, shows continuously updating weight.

• The spreadsheet may show a continuously updating bar graph.

• Formulas in the spreadsheet may show a flashing indication if the

weight exceeds or drops below certain levels.

• The WinDDE command for the spreadsheet to read weight is simply

Automatic Stable Weight Capture to Excel

After a weight is placed on the scale and the indicator sees a stable weight, the weight is placed

in a spreadsheet cell, such as A5. The operator removes the weight, and the procedure is re-

peated, but the weight value is placed in the next spreadsheet row, such as A6.

Printer Port Capture to Excel

After a weight is placed on the scale, the operator at the indicator may press the Print key on the

indicator. Instead of printing, the printout information from the indicator

is sent to the computer. The computer sets the spreadsheet cells, such as

E3 Gross Weight, F3 Tare Weight, G3 Net Weight, etc. The operator then

may remove the weight, and the procedure is repeated, but information

is placed in the next spreadsheet row, such as E4, F4, G4, etc.

Computer Data Collection

After a weight is placed on the scale, the operator may type information at the computer, such as an ID number to

associate the weight. The computer stores the information in a database or spreadsheet. The operator then may

remove the weight.
