The balance connects to the network computer with a RS232 cable. We’ve been using it since R:BASE 6.5. I haven’t checked for any advances recently since it continues to work perfectly. You can find the software easily with an internet search. I work in a federal laboratory, so I may not be able to get into my work email account next week if the furlough happens. So if I don’t answer any further questions, it’s because I haven’t seen them. I’ll be back eventually!
