6.0 Scale Programming
The DC-200/300 can store information for the parts you count most frequently, eliminating the need for
re-entering data during parts counting. With up to 5,000 item code numbers able to be programmed into your
DC-200/300 counting scale, the scale can act as a stand-alone inventory system. If you have more than 5,000
items, or want to track inventory across multiple scales, the DC-200/300 can be connected to DIGI’s PC-based
Inventory Management System (IMS) software that allows an unlimited number of items. Call your DIGI dealer
to find out more about how IMS can help you.
