OMG. Flashback.

I wrote something like that about ten years ago. Sorry. I don't have it in VB. I did it in Pascal, on a DOS machine, and I wrote my own communications protocol to handle it.

I assume that the scale and the barcode reader are separate devices, and that you will have items on a conveyer belt passing over the scale and being scanned. Timing will be a BIG issue. If you get a weight and a barcode together, everything is fine. But what if the scale fails to give a weight, or (more likely), the scanner fails to read the barcode. You will need to have some limit on how long you will wait for the barcode. Then the spead of the belt becomes vital. This should all be done asyncronously.

One problem we had was that if the conveyer was going too fast, it would twist the item as it went on the scale, and then the scanner did not read the barcode.

Sorry I can't give you any specifics. Good luck.

Roy.
