6. WindowsDirect Function
When the WindowsDirect Function Intermittently Malfunctions:
• Use a communication speed of 300bps. Depending on the processing ability of the computer, this
function may operate incorrectly if communication speed is too high.
• Send the next data only after the current one is displayed on the screen. Depending on the process-
ing ability of the PC, this function may operate incorrectly if the interval of data transmission is too
short.
• Do not touch the keyboard or the mouse while the balance is transmitting data.
• Stop the data transmission and confirm that no data is entering the computer before touching the
keyboard or the mouse.
Notes
• This function may generate incorrect data when the displayed value is
not a weight value (i.e. error code or time).
• The unit designation is not transmitted. The balance display unit
selected and the unit required by the application should be set the
same.
• This function may operate incorrectly depending on the settings of vari-
ous lock keys of the keyboard such as the NUMLOCK or cursor key
lock. Change the state of the lock and function keys on the computer
keyboard.
• Peripheral devices connected to the DATA I/O such as Electric Printer
EP-50 cannot be used with this function.
• When this function is used, a command cannot be sent from the periph-
eral device or computer to the balance.
• Set the data formats, such as decimal places and units, according to
each application.
