Please i'm quite new in this field, can anybody help me. Is there any sample program for interfacing such peripheral with pc available?please please it is very urgent!
thank you
 
You must engineer a Routine on VB6 with the MScomm Component (very easy)
...create ownself a Cable
(is easy, you need 2 rs232 connector and 100 Cm. Telephon Cable, you must use only 3 Pin on the two Connector (it is without Handshaking)but you will receive what the weighing balance display on a String) else you kann buy a Cable DTE-DTE price is about 5.- Euro.
so you connect the PC with the weighing balance and read what the weighing balance displayng on Your PC with a Textbox.

Good lock.
