5.5.5 WeighVault
WeighVault is a PC program which allows Counterpart users to add, edit, and access IDs over a network
connection. WeighVault surpasses the
Counterpart's 150 ID limitation and eliminates front-panel entry of ID
parameters. It also collects data as transactions occur, and provides detailed transaction and productivity reports
which can be exported to Excel, Word, or PDF. For WeighVault to function, the following criteria must be met:
• Use on-board Ethernet or wireless option (PN72117 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Installation and
Configuration Manual)
• IP address assigned to the Counterpart (Refer to PN72117 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Installation and
Configuration Manual) (If using option)
• WeighVault enabled in the Counterpart menu (ETHERNET menu; see Section 3.6.5 on page30).
Table 5-1 lists parameters that must be entered in order for WeighVault to work.
The above mentioned default settings only apply if the VAULT parameter is set to ONBOARD. See Figure
3-10 on page 30.
Once the above criteria have been met, IDs can then be entered into WeighVault and saved on the PC’s hard
drive. The Edit Product dialog box in
Figure 5-3 shows ID parameters which can be saved in WeighVault.
