Labtronics has posted four videos on its website to help people collect data from RS232 devices.
The videos provide step-by-step demonstrations, showing how to connect a balance or scale to Excel, set up a 'wedge' interface, create a comma delimited file using serial data collected from a force gauge and how to set up and add new instruments to the instrument library in Labtronics' Collect software.
Mike DeWitte, vice-president, sales and marketing at Labtronics Device Integration Group, said: 'These videos clearly demonstrate how, with the right tools, anyone can enjoy the real benefits of RS232 data collection without requiring much technical knowledge or needing to spend a lot of time setting up the interfaces.'
