Hint: Your profile as a Windows user requires writing preferences for this installation directory. In this directory
further configuration files will be created (see chapter 5.3).
Then you connect the scale interface to an USB port of the installation PC. Hereby the installation PC
automatically detects the scale interface and the operating system will search for a suitable device driver, which
you can find in the directory “USB Driver 2008“ (Windows 7 / Vista) resp. “USB Driver 2006“ (Windows XP).
After the successful driver installation the Windows device manager should list the FlintWeigh scale interface in
the section “Connections (COM & LPT)“ listen. Please note the assigned COM port no. for further use during
the commissioning.
When started for the first time FlintWeigh II should start with the language setting "English" (see chapter 8.2).
