Send data directly to Excel - No Software Wedge RequiredThe Mettler Toledo AM/PM/SM balances are fitted with a bidirectional data interface for use with peripherals. The balance can transmit weighing results to a peripheral device using serial RS232 communication. This Mettler Toledo balance works well with SmartCable Keyboard gage interface allowing us to send a data request to the balance to receive data.
This SmartCable Keyboard gage interface is engineered to change the output on the Mettler AM/PM/SM Balance and send data directly to Excel without adding a software wedge. The special 15-Pin male connector on the Advanced Systems & Designs SmartCable connects directly to the female connector on the Mettler Toledo bi-directional data interface - no additional cables required.
The output of the SmartCable Keyboard gage interface is a standard USB 2.0 keyboard signal. Connecting the SmartCable USB Keyboard with its built-in keyboard wedge to a computer will allow the SmartCable interface cable to be identified as a keyboard device that allows the Mettler AM/PM Series balance send data to any Microsoft Windows application - no software wedge required.

If you want to collect data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or Explorer based SPC software programs, simply select the cell where you want the data to appear and trigger a reading.
Readings can be triggered by the following method:
- Using print / transfer on the control bar of the Mettler AM / PM Balance
