1 Introduction

ScaleMonitor.NET is a software that allows one to real-time display weight values detected by one
or more scales, by an indicator to show whether they are within the values of tolerance, and to
collect and manage data collected. In order to view the data, please, insert and configure scales
and choose how to receive data.
It also possible to manage users and select the desired language.

2 Installation

The steps to install the program are 6:

3 Wizard configuration

At the first start, a software wizard setup will be run to make the use of the program easy and
intuitive.
The configuration is divided in its interior in 4 steps:
 Language configuration
 Scale configuration
 Operation mode
 File save

3.1 Language configuration

In this screen you can choose the desired language from the language list

Figure 7 – Selection of the language

3.2 Scale configuration

The scale can be configured in 2 different ways:

• Automatic search. This mode allows the software to look for all serial ports on present
scales.
• Manual search. This mode allows the user to set the communication type of the
scale

Figure 8 – Scale configuration

If you choose to use the Automatic Search, the screen below will be displayed with the relevant
information related to ongoing research.

Figure 9 – Automatic Search

In the Manual Search, you can change the settings of the communication (COM, TCP-IP, UDP) with
their characteristics.
The button Test the connection is designed to check whether there is a scale. The values chosen
can establish communication between a software and a scale.

Figure 10 – Manual search

The Next button will be enabled only when a scale was found.

3.3 Operating mode

In this screen you can choose the operation mode of the scale.
They are 2 of them:
 From PC
 From scale

In the first case, from PC → by the PC keyboard, the storage will only occur when the weight is
stable. In case of a mode from PC → by Time, the storage will occur even if the weight is unstable.

The functioning mode from PC allows you to store a weight or by pressing a keyboard button or by
programming the save according to a fix time interval.

11
If you select to use the PC functioning mode, the screen below will appear:

Figure 13 – PC functioning mode

You may choose whether to use the keypad buttons or a configured time interval to store.

Figure 14 – Setting by Time

In the category scale functioning mode, the string directly comes from the scale and you can set
the separator.

Figure 15 – Scale functioning mode

3.4 Save in a file

It makes possible to store the weights in case you want to keep track over time.
In the case of storage, you can choose the file type (.txt or .csv) and if you want to save weights
day by day (To create file with automatic name).
The file with an automatic name will be automatically generated by the caption YYYY-MM-DD in
the selected folder.

The default folder to save to file is: C:\Syntweb\Data, but you can change the path through
the button Change the path.

4 Main screen

The main screen contains all the set scales (FULL version only).
For each scale, you can choose whether to display the list of weighs made or track its progress
through the graph.
Each scale is connected to a resettable activity by the Configure button.

Figure 77 – Main screen (weights)

14
 The part related to the graph can be customized in its display by selecting the type of value (all
columns are visible in the table of weights).
3 lines can also be inserted to indicate the thresholds of tolerance.

It is present only if you select the

PC functioning mode → by Time

Figure 18– Main screen (Graphic)

On the weight screen, you can choose the columns to display and save to a file (if this last option is
enabled) by selecting Selects data to be saved.
By clicking on its name, each column has the ability to change its heading, choose its size and

15
decide to enable it in case of saving.

Figure 19 – Column selection (weights)

In a Pc functioning mode, certain information regarding the scale are present:

Tare
Weight
Display Zero

It displays if
Figure 20 – Information about scale (from Pc ) a tare is
present

Every activity has its own toolbar that adjusts its state and manages the scale:

The emulation of writing allows you to write the weight in another active window, such as for
instance storing the weight of a running file such as Excel, Word or any other program running.

Figura 22 – Main screen (Emulation)

If, in addition to emulation, you also activate the transparent mode, it is possible to write in
emulation everything that is sent from the scale, including special characters and key
combinations.
For example, in order to make CTRL + HOME, you must digit ^ {HOME}.
