17.4. Using Windows Communication Tools (WinCT)

When Windows is used as an operating system in a personal computer, the WinCT software, that is
downloaded from the A&D website, can be used to transmit the weight data to the personal
computer.
The WinCT has two communication methods: "RsCom" and "RsKey".
RsCom
 Can transmit commands to control the balance.
 Can make bi-directional communication between the balance and a personal computer using
the RS-232C serial interface.
 Can display or store the data using a text file format. Can also print the data using a printer
connected to a personal computer.
 When several ports of a personal computer have balances connected, can communicate with
each balance simultaneously.
 Can share a personal computer with other application software.
RsKey
 Can transmit the weight data output from the balance directly to other application software such
as Microsoft Excel.
 Can be used with most application software.
RsWeight
 Can retrieve the weight data from the balance and display the data as a graph in real time.
 Can calculate and display the maximum, minimum, average, standard deviation and coefficient
of variation.
