Not many computers these days come with a COM port. USB has replaced the serial COM port on most computers. The USB solution on our PC-150 uses a special driver on your PC to pro- duce what’s called a Virtual COM Port or VCP. This allows many legacy applications to work seamlessly with our scale because to them, it’s just another COM port. -
