6. WindowsDirect Function
6. WindowsDirect Function
6.1 Introduction:
Experience it!
The UW/UX series balance can transfer data directly to a personal computer running Lotus 1-2-3,
Excel, or other applications running on a Windows
®
* operating system, as if the displayed value were
typed from the keyboard. This function is called WindowsDirect. Because this function directly
accesses the Windows
®
operating system, communication software-installation troubles are elimi-
nated. A cable and a few simple settings are all that is needed to enable data transmission from the
balance.
6.2 Set Up WindowsDirect
Simple settings are made for the balance and the computer. Connection is by RS-232C cable specified
by shimadzu.
6.2.1
Setting Up the Balance
1
Press the
[MENU]
key twice from the gram-dis-
play. “Setwin” appears.
2
Press the
[O/T]
key. Verify the stability mark is
illuminated with “Setwin” display. All the communi-
cation settings for WindowsDirect have been made.
3
Go to “STAND-BY” by pressing the
[POWER]
key several times and unplug the AC adapter
from the balance. Unpluging the balance once is
necessary after the above setting.
Note
When WindowsDirect settings are made using the "SEtwin" setting, indi-
vidual communications parameters can be changed using the Communi-
cations Settings menu (15.3). In this case, the
→
(stability mark) may still
appear with the "SEtwin" display but WindowsDirect may not operate. To
restore WindowsDirect optimal settings first go to the "SEtwin" display and
remove the stability mark by pressing the [O/T] key. This restores the
default Communications settings. Then, reset "SEtwin" following the pro-
cedure described in 6.2.1.
