Weighing

Status Bar

The status bar at the bottom of the window displays the next ticket
number and the ticket format file (unless you have modified the ticket
format, it will show as “default.gtk”).

Weight Display Window

The display window shows the scale weight. This window will look
different depending on the type of scale selected (see “Preferences” of
the Admin section).

When the scale port is in MANUAL mode, the display window is
inactive. Weights must be manually entered in the Weight In/Weight
Out boxes of the Transaction Detail table.

When the scale port is in SIM mode, arrows for increasing and de-
creasing a truck weight appear next to the display window to simulate
a scale action. These buttons increase or decrease simulated truck
weights in increments of 1000 pounds.

Weight Display Window in Simulation Mode

When a scale indicator is connected to the computer, TransAct reads
the weight supplied by the scale indicator and displays the weight in
the display window. The unit of measure (lb-pound or kg-kilogram) of
the scale indicator also appears in the display window.

A motion indicator in the top left corner of the display window informs
the operator when the scale is in motion. The operator cannot continue
with the transaction, until the motion indicator clears from the display.
