Not a valid question! If you're not sure where and how weighing machine sends data, how do you want to fetch these data? Go to documentation or ask a producer (supplier).

check from weighing machine manufacturer for programming interfaces.

Using the serial port in C# is straightforward, see, for instance, "How To Work With C# Serial Port Communication"[^].
However you need to know what kind of data are coming from the weight scale, that is how to interpret the bytes received (i.e. you have to read the weight scale documentation).

Impossible to answer !

Every single manufacturer of theses machines use different communication protocol and deliver the weight in different format.
You have to read the documentation of the machine.

And for serial port communication, you can follow the link of Solution 1 or Google for examples or tutos.
