CONNECTING THE SCALE MASTER II
TO YOUR PC
Follow the instructions below to connect your Scale Master II (SMII)
Digital Plan Measuring System to your PC:
1. If using the serial port turn your computer off. If using the USB port
go to 1b.
1a. Serial Port — Plug the 9-pin side of the black interface cable
(included in your kit) into the serial port on the back of your
computer’s hard drive. Tighten the screws. If necessary, attach
an adapter.* Turn your computer on.
1b. USB Port — Plug the USB adapter into the USB port on your
computer. Make sure the other end of the USB adapter cable is
attached to the 9-pin serial interface cable.**
2. Plug the other end of the serial interface cable into the Scale Master
II and switch the SMII on (the On/Off switch is located above the
cable). If the
SMII display does not show zero (0), press the red
[RESET] key to clear the display.
3. Proceed to page 4, “Installing the PC Interface Software,” to install
the PC Interface program.
* Serial ports are either 9-pin or 25-pin. The SMII requires a 9-pin port
on your PC. If your computer has a 25-pin port, you must use a
serial port adapter (available at most stores carrying computer
products).
** USB Connection is not supported by DOS, Windows 3.X, or
Windows 95.
Cable Length
The interface cable measures 10 feet (3.0 meters). You may attach a
standard serial cable to lengthen the connection, if desired.
