• 

In the BBR2S.cfg file, locate the line which says “Serial Number = 12-34567-8.” Edit this line such that the 

12-34567-8 is replaced with either the Serial Number of the BBR as shown on the nameplate on the back of 

the load frame, or with whatever designation you prefer. Save the changes to the file when exiting Notepad.
