How to make a message box pop up on mettler toledo balance?

[Mike227]

Hey I am trying to program a mettler toledo scale so that it sends an instructional pop-up on the scale's display. How would I go about doing that?

[Mark_Ramsdale]

Using LabVIEW, you would send the appropriate command and data to the instrument.  Is there such a command for the instrument?

... But, I am thinking now this is not an instrument ... so ...

The instrument driver only allows a small display line appear.

Sometimes the drivers do not give all the true functionality of the instrument.  I am assuming this pop up is possible, so if the driver doesn't offer the functionality you might have to go to the instruments full instruction set and find the right commands and make a driver for that command.

 For example, the driver for the small display might be 'upgradable' to give the pop up you are looking for.

I saw some other posts ( as far back as 2007) on this instrument, so maybe there is already somthing like this on the board.
