Input to the textbox from weighing scale

[kingreen]

Hi ,
I am wondering whether this can be done or not. I need to take the input from an electronic weighing scale into a text box in my vb.net windows application.
It can be either automatically as soon as sometihng is placed on the scale or on button click
The thing is i have no clue about how to go about it .
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks

How does it connect to the computer, does it have any instructions with it, ie API or examples?

the mayority of the electronic scale are db9 so you must to listen to port com1 or com2 depends on your computer configuration, and capture all the data...

im sure that your scale bring a manual with instruccion with how to use it like coldfusion244 says...
