"Every") Step 2 Connect the Weighing instrument that has been set in the stream output. In the case that the AD-1687 has received the weighing data, is displayed at lower left corner of the screen of the AD-1687, and the weighing data is displayed.In this case, the weighing data is not saved.
Supplying the Power From USB Port of Computer Step 1 Connect the AD-1687 and a computer with a USB cable. Step 2 Select the item "EXT.POWER" and press the ENTER key so that the AD-1687 can use power from the USB port.
Step 3 The AD-1687 is recognized as USB memory without special software. Step 4 The CSV file data can be read by the computer. Step 5 To delete the CSV file in the AD-1687, use normal computer file operations. Step 6 Follow the menu "Safely Remove Hardware" when removing the AD-1687 from the USB port of the computer.
Data is not stored in the AD-1687.(Special software is not necessary) Transmitting Only Environmental Data 7.3.3.1 Step 1 Connect the AD-1687 and a computer with a USB cable. The display will change to "7.3.1" Display after Connecting. Step 2 Select the item "REAL TIME" and press the ENTER key to use the real time transmission mode.
Step 1 Connect the AD-1687 to the weighing instrument with the RS-232c cable while the AD-1687 is powered off. After that, connect the AD-1687 unit to the PC with the USB cable. After connecting, the display will change the "8.3.1" display.
