AD-1688 (Weighing Data Logger) As with USB flash memory, the AD-1688 stores weighing data (up to approx. 5,000 data sets) output via RS-232C from a balance or scale without requiring any special software. The weighing data, together with date and time, are saved in CSV file format, and can be transferred easily to a PC through a USB port. (No special software is required.) Dedicated power supply is not required. (Just connect the device to a weighing instrument or PC.) The AD-1688 is ideal for when a PC or printer cannot be installed near the balance, such as in a clean room or in an isolated location. With the casing cover, the AD-1688 is IP65 dust and waterproof. The AD-1688 is capable of one-way communication only. Therefore, it is not possible to control a balance or scale from a PC using the AD-1688.
* If the AD-1688 is not detected by your PC Depending on your type of PC, if a USB extension cable is used, the signal may weaken and not be detected by the computer. Please either connect the AD-1688 directly to your PC without using a USB extension cable, or connect the AD-1688 to your computer using an off-the-shelf USB hub.
AD-8527 (Quick USB Adapter) The AD-8527 transfers weighing data to a PC in real time via an RS-232C connection with a weighing instrument and a USB connection with a PC, without requiring any special software.

A dedicated power supply is not required. (Just connect the device to a weighing instrument or PC.) With the casing cover, the AD-8527 is IP65 dust and waterproof. The AD-8527 is capable of one-way communication only. Therefore, it is not possible to control a balance or scale from a PC using the AD-8527.
