7 Place a stock item on the scale to test that the scale is communicating the weight value to Denali, and then click the Get Weight button. If the scale is functioning properly, the weight of the stock item appears in the Weight Value field.
If the weight reading varies while you weigh an item, for instance because the item is unstable, you might see an error message that the weight scale is not responding. Click OK, stabilize the item, and then select Get Weight to try again.
8 When you are done testing the scale, close the test window and save this code.
