14-2  Connection to a Computer 

The FZ-CT

 

and FX-CT

 

series balances can be connected to a personal computer using the 

RS-232C serial interface. As an option, the FX

–02 USB interface is available to transmit the 

balance data to a personal computer. 
 
The FZ-CT

 

and FX-CT

 

series balances are a DCE.   

Use a straight through cable. If purchasing the RS-232C cable on the market, check the interface 
connections and type. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

14-3  Using Windows Communication Tools (WinCT) 

When Windows is used as an operating system in a personal computer, the WinCT software, that 

is downloaded from the A&D website, can be used to transmit the weight data to the personal 
computer. 

The WinCT has three communication methods: “RsCom”, “RsKey” and “RsWeight”. 

 

RsCom 

  Can transmit commands to control the balance. 

  Can make bi-directional communication between the balance and a personal computer using 

the RS-232C serial interface. 

  Can display or store the data using a text file format. Can also print the data using a printer 

connected to the personal computer. 

  When several ports of a personal computer have balances connected, can communicate with 

each balance simultaneously. 

  Can share a personal computer with other application software. 

 

RsKey 

  Can transmit the weight data output from the balance directly to other application software 

such as Microsoft Excel. 

  Can be used with most application software.
