Use of Mettler-Toledo Backup file for PLU refresh #1196

Closed flathat closed 11 months ago

Does anyone have experience with using, or trying to use, a file in the format of a Mettler-Toledo model IMPACT-S Backup/Restore file for refreshing PLU data on the scale? I want to replace the PLU data in the Backup file and re-load it using Restore. M-T support is not clear about whether this is actually possible.

Backup/Restore from the scale is to a USB stick on the scale that must have a license key file on it. That license seems to be an "extra", a separate purchase. The scale I have was purchased used so I'm not sure what comes with new ones.

If you've done this, or even if you've only done Backup, can you share anything about the format of the file?
