Further, SapScale supports a full range of settings to control communication with
the weighing device using serial communication. Even though SapScale has been
designed for use with weighing devices, any equipment that supports serial communication
can be used. One installation of SapScale can be used for communication with multiple
serial devices.
Most weighing devices transmit the current weight continuously, however SapScale
can also send the device a request .
Incoming data can be filtered and parsed using SapScale's easy to understand rules.
Either fixed length input strings can be used, or a termination character. Data cleansing
parameters can be defined and a built in serial port monitor allows the settings
to be tested without the use of further utilities.
SapScale's easy to use parsing allows the user to define the output data for weight
and units using a simple point-and-click interface. More advanced settings allow
for the removal of spaces and padding of input.
SapScale can also detect motion on the weighing device and settings include timeouts
for movement on the scale.
