The Weighing Scale Setup dialog, accessible from the Administer menu or the Weighing Scale Setup option on the Scale property page, lists all of the scales that can be used with BarTender. Using this dialog, you can manage installed scales, install new scales, and remove scales that you no longer need.
The following tabs are available:
-
