Post Weight iPhone-iPad | Ohaus Defender 3000 And More
Connect Ohaus Defender 3000 scale wirelessly to post weight iPhone-iPad iOS devices. This works for all iPads, and iPhones*.
First get a BlueSnap M6A RS-232 serial dongle with DB9 connector.
Second, plug your BlueSnap M6A dongle plugs to Ohaus scale RS-232 port.
Third, SerialMagic Keys makes a FAST wireless connection to BlueSnap M6A dongle.
Finally, your weights are posted as keystrokes to any application that has keyboard focus.
Post Weight Without Touching Your Scale
First you have the option to press scale print button to send the weight.
However you may have a work flow that prevents you from pressing the scale. For example when your scale is not easily accessible.
In this case use the SerialMagic Keys iOS Command or Trigger key on iPhone or iPad.
See in the video example how with the FileMaker Go app. First item is put on scale, the scale settles. Seconds, tap the Command Key and see the weight posted wirelessly and instantly to the cursor location in the FileMaker app.
Finally this works for ALL iOS apps* that take keyboard input.
Optionally Have Fast Integration With 3rd Party Apps
First you see above how easy using SerialMagic Keys is for posting data without any app changes to iOS apps on iPad & iPhone.
However you may want to integrate your 3rd Party iOS app directly to get scale data. You avoid installing SerialMagic Keys, and performance is faster when app directly integrates with the scale. See the iScanBrowser app for an example of direct app integration.
with Serial Device Manager (SDM) libraries, connect with 3rd party apps.
*SerialMagic Keys is available for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.
