You must engineer a Routine on VB6 with the MScomm Component (very easy)
...create ownself a Cable
(is easy, you need 2 rs232 connector and 100 Cm. Telephon Cable, you must use only 3 Pin on the two Connector (it is without Handshaking)but you will receive what the weighing balance display on a String) else you kann buy a Cable DTE-DTE price is about 5.- Euro.
so you connect the PC with the weighing balance and read what the weighing balance displayng on Your PC with a Textbox.
Good lock.
