The Clover Station communicates with the scale via a serial interface (RS-232 or USB CDC). Communication parameters include baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits. Software applications read the incoming serial data, interpret the scale data format and display the weight. Software crashes or interruptions can corrupt serial port drivers or application settings.
Avoid using excessive force when connecting or disconnecting cables. ESD can damage electronic components; ground yourself before handling the device. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Never attempt to open the Clover Station casing due to PCI-PTS anti-tamper mechanisms which will render the device permanently inoperable.
