mettler

Mettler electronic scale

Enter:

mettler <device_name> <weight_label>

Where:

device_name	Specify the base filename of a configuration file in the /specs directory with the ‘.cfg’ extension. This file is an ASC configuration file defining the serial communications interface and the expected commands and responses for the device. NOTE: do not include the ‘.cfg’ extender in the device name
weight_label	Specify the variable where the weight value will be stored.

Example:

mettler mettler urea_weight &
The above command launches the mettler task, and places the weight value into ‘urea_weight’ whenever it is broadcast by the scale.

The broadcast value from the scale is assumed to be in units of LBM.
