5.6 WeighVault
WeighVault is a PC program that allows Counterpart users to add, edit, and access IDs over a network connection.
WeighVault surpasses the Counterpart's 150 ID limitation and eliminates front-panel entry of ID parameters.
In and
Out softkeys can be used to update the ID quantity with inventory changes. Setting up softkeys is explained in
Section 1.7 on page 5. If WeighVault is enabled the inventory changes are also sent to the WeighVault PC.
It also collects data as transactions occur, and provides detailed transaction and productivity reports that can be
exported to Excel, Word, or PDF. For WeighVault to function, the following criteria must be met:
• Use onboard Ethernet or wireless option (PN72117 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Installation and
Configuration Manual)
• IP address assigned to the Counterpart (Refer to PN72117 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Installation and
Configuration Manual)
• WeighVault enabled in the Counterpart menu (ETHERNET menu; see Section 3.7.3 on page 42). Table 5-
1 lists parameters that must be entered in order for WeighVault to work.
