There are cases in which operations malfunction
if the speed of communications is set too slow,
depending on the processing performance of the
PC. Set this in alignment with the communication
speed. There are also cases in which malfunctions
occur if the interval set for transmitting data from the
balance is set too short. Set this so that subsequent
items of data are transmitted after they have been
displayed on the screen. Also, avoid using the
continuous output function in this event.
Is anything touching the PC
input device?
Make sure nothing is touching the PC keyboard
or mouse when data is being transmitted from the
balance.
