3.2 Configuring Spec 141 and 142 Settings Using the Spec Upload Utility
The DC-300 Utility Program includes a module called “Spec Upload”. This handy program allows you to more
easily do four useful things:
• change one or any number of spec settings from your computer screen and then upload them to a
DC-200/300 rather than change them from the scale’s keyboard.
• save the spec setting currently programmed in the DC-200/300 to a named file on your computer from
which they can be restored to the same DC-200/300 later or uploaded to other DC-200/300s so that their
spec settings match.
• save spec settings optimized for a particular task, department or facility to a named file on the computer.
This complete set of spec settings can then be uploaded to a DC-200/300 whenever the scale’s use or
location changes, rather than have to go through and manually change each spec. It can also be used to
save a backup of your spec settings if you should need to send your scale to be serviced.
• return all the scale’s spec settings to the default settings by uploading the defaults from the computer to
the scale.
Note: For information on how to install the DC-300 Utility Program on your computer, See Section 6.2.2 on page 54 If you have
not already set up your computer and the scale to be able to communicate to each other using the DC-200/300’s Ethernet
connection, please see Section 11.0. If you are unsure of how to work with TCP/IP connections or have difficulties, see your
Network Administrator for help.
