from mettler_toledo_device import MettlerToledoDevice
dev = MettlerToledoDevice() # Might automatically find device if one available
# if it is not found automatically, specify port directly
dev = MettlerToledoDevice(port='/dev/ttyUSB0') # Linux specific port
dev = MettlerToledoDevice(port='/dev/tty.usbmodem262471') # Mac OS X specific port
dev = MettlerToledoDevice(port='COM3') # Windows specific port
dev.get_serial_number()
