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:
- Pairing the EID reader to the Weigh Scale indicator so that the Weigh Scale indicator is holding EID and weight information.
- 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.
- Editing hardware configuration on the Tablet and in StockMate so that it reflects the physical setup.
