11.2.5 Host Mode
The indicator can communicate with a PC in host mode. You can upload or download data to the indicator by
adjusting the related interface parameters within the FLINTEC IndFace software or using the command sets
described in Appendix 2. This mode is convenient for process control applications which need not only the
weight data, but also require some uploads / downloads and status control.
