18. Connecting to a Personal Computer
Quick USB mode
The quick USB mode is a function where a balance connected to a personal computer with a USB cable
and inputs the output of the balance directly to the software on the personal computer, such as Excel or
Word. The supported OS is Windows 7 or later.
Since the Windows standard driver (HID) is used, there is no need to install a dedicated driver and
communication is possible simply by connecting.
Caution
Quick USB is a one-way communication from the balance to the personal computer. It is no possible to
send commands to control the balance from the personal computer.
Turn off the screen saver and standby mode of the personal computer.
Do not use Quick USB when the data output mode of the balance is set to the stream mode.
In stream mode, the balance keeps outputting weighing data to the personal computer. It may cause
unintended operation on the computer.
