Questions and answers
How are the results sent to laptop when USB is connected
When connected via USB, the Tanita DC-13C sends the measurement results to the laptop immediately after the measurement is completed. The data is output in CSV format. A USB Type B 4-pin female connector is located on the back of the control box, and a USB Type A 4-pin male to Type B 4-pin male cable (not included) is required. USB and RS-232C cannot be used at the same time.
