GX-A Series/GF-A Series Communication Manual 13 / 41
The RS-232C interface of the balance is the DCE (Data Communication Equipment) that can be
connected to a PC. The RS-232C cable used for connection is the straight type. If there is no
RS-232C connector on the PC, please connect in USB Virtual COM mode.
When a PC is connected through a USB connection in virtual COM mode or with a RS-232C cable,
weighing data can be easily received by the PC with the use of the WinCT data communication
software for Windows. WinCT can be downloaded from our website (http://www.aandd.co.jp). Please
refer to "WinCT setup procedures" and "WinCT operation manual" on our website
(http://www.aandd.co.jp) for installation and setup.
