Intelligent interface cable assembly and method of providing the same

摘要

A method and apparatus for interfacing a weighing scale and one or more peripheral devices which includes a single intelligent interface cable assembly connected between a weighing scale and a plurality of peripheral devices, the IICA detects the peripheral device protocol by receiving a logic signal indicating which protocol is in operation, if necessary, the IICA then switches the signal protocol of the weighing scale to correspond with the signal protocol of the detected peripheral device protocol. Simultaneous, tripping of a mailing machine to print postage amounts may occur.
