Setting up the scale
Introduction
Once you have the scale connected and you know the comm port details, you are ready to start setting up the scale in EazyTouch. Open EazyTouch, logon and select the company you will be working in and then select the Configure option as shown below. It is important to Log On because the scale settings are saved in the TransLution database and until you have logged on the device will have nowhere to save the details.
EazyTouch - Main Form
EazyTouch - Config Logon
As you can see, the logon form is password protected. This password is available from your site admin, failing that, your TransLution reseller will be able to assist. Once logged on, you will see the form below. Select COMM PORT Settings
Eazy Touch - Configuration
This form is where all your work setting up the scale will be done. The first step is to create a new Scale Profile. Select 'New' then in the Profile text box, enter a name for the Scale profile. Try to give the scale a logical name - either related to the scale model or the scale function e.g. Receiving-ScaleModel.
