Setup Tru-Test XR3000 Weigh Scale (and EID Reader)

Setup Tru-Test XR3000 Weigh Scale (and EID Reader)

The TruTest XR3000 Weigh Scale indicator can be used with a Bluetooth enabled EID reader. The process involves:
  1. Pairing the EID reader to the Weigh Scale indicator so that the Weigh Scale indicator is holding EID and weight information.
  2. Connecting the Weigh Scale indicator to the Tablet by one of three methods (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or USB serial cable) so that weight and EID information is transmitted to StockMate during processing.
  3. Editing hardware configuration in StockMate so that it reflects the physical setup.
