With your scanner you can add entries into the database and save setting with just a scan of a barcode. You can also search the database for previously stored sample weights, setting and limit sets. For example, when performing a parts counting operation, after you set the sample weight, you can scan a barcode associated with that sample and your weight will be automatically saved under that number. If you need to retrieve the setting at a later time all you have to do is go into the database, scan your barcode and the setting will be displayed. This is a very time saving function when you have a large database over searching manually or typing in the name every time.
