Ok... now I've got some more information... The scale is produced by a co. called Toledo. This scale is connected via serial port to the pc and it uses a protocol called P03 (proprietary). Ok... about the protocol, you don't have to worry about it. What i figure now is how to get the string transmited via serial port. With this, I can create a script to understand that code (The manual explains about this protocol).
