USB Interface
INTRODUCTION
This Interface Kit is for use with the following Ohaus products: Ranger 3000, Ranger Count 3000 and
Valor 7000.
The OHAUS USB Interface Kit is a unique solution to the problem of connecting a scale to a
computer using a Universal Serial Bus (USB). USB devices are categorized into classes such as disk
drives, digital cameras, printers, etc. Scales do not have a commonly used class so the Ohaus USB
interface uses a generic interface based on the RS232 serial standard.
Data sent from the balance to a computer is in USB format. The USB data is directed to a virtual port.
This port then appears as an RS232 port to the application program.
When sending a command from a computer to the balance, the application program sends a
command to the virtual port as if it were an RS232 port. The computer then directs the command
from the virtual port to the computers USB connector where the balance is connected. The Adapter
Kit receives the USB signal and reacts to the command.
The USB Interface kit includes a CD with the software drivers to create the required virtual port on the
computer.
