RECEIVING AND SENDING PROGRAMS
The 788 Programmable Weight Indicator can receive and send application programs to and
from another 788 indicator or with the optional SmartWeigh software development package to
and from a computer.
To transfer application programs between 788 indicators, one indicator must be in the Receive
mode, the other in the Send mode and a simple null modem cable must
be connected from the COM port of one indicator to the COM port of the other indicator.
To transfer application programs between the computer and the 788 indicator, the SmartWeigh
program must be loaded and running on the computer, and a simple null modem cable
connected between the COM port on the computer and the COM port of the
788. The indicator and the SmartWeigh program must be in the appropriate modes (one in
send, the other in receive) to transfer application programs. Refer to the SmartWeigh
Programming and Simulator Manual (8545-M095-O1) for operation of SmartWeigh transfer
procedures and 777 / 788 indicators manuals.
