Connecting the scale to the PC

Xtrem scales are equipped as standard with an RS232 serial interface, which allows them to be connected directly to a COM port of a PC (or any other compatible device). In addition to the standard RS232 serial interface, the scale can be equipped with a second optional interface. This additional interface does not replace the RS232 serial interface, which can continue to be used simultaneously. The optional interfaces available allow connection to a local area network (LAN) via an UTP cable (optional ethernet interface) or via a Wi-Fi 811.2 connection. This allows a very flexible architecture, being able to combine a point-to-point connection of the scale with different compatible indicator models and, at the same time, supply information to any device connected to the same local area network.
Example:

Scale Xtrem B, is equipped with a second ethernet interface. This allows a K3iX indicator to be connected via the scale’s RS232 cable, and also to have the scale connected to the local area network via an UTP cable. Any other device on the same local network can connect to this scale. In the example, both the personal computer with PC-XTREM and the tablet can be operating with the same scale.
Scale Xtrem C only has the standard RS232 serial interface, and connects directly to a PC COM port. Other devices do not have access to this scale.
Scale Xtrem A is equipped with a second Wi-Fi interface, through which it is connected to the local area network. Both the tablet and the PC can be operating with this scale at the same time.

The example laptop is connected to 3 different scales.
When running PC-XTREM, the application scans the system to discover connected scales, and will provide the different scales you can use, so you can select the one you want.

You can open multiple instances of the application at the same time to have control over each of the available scales.
