MEMORY FUNCTION
Test results and received AIS data are automatically stored in the test box memory with the
facility of transferring them to a printer or a PC using a HyperTerminal program.
There are two separate memory positions in the test box - one containing received AIS data
only, and one containing all the other test results.
The test box memory can contain a total of 719 test results and 50 AIS records. If more
measurements are done, the oldest will be deleted first.
How to transfer test results and AIS data to a PC
1) Connect your test box with the COM port of your PC, using the RS232 cable supplied with
the test box.
If your PC does not have a COM port, we advise you to insert a Serial-to-USB converter and
connect with a USB port.
2) Create a HyperTerminal connection on your PC.
Any HyperTerminal program set for 2400 Baud N81 (No parity 8 data bit and 1 stop bit) should
be able to receive the test results from the test box. In Windows based computers, the program
can usually be found under Start/Accessories/Communications. If not found, we advise you to
download a HyperTerminal program from the Internet.
3) Within the HyperTerminal program, select COM port and do the following settings:
Bits per second = 2400
Data bit = 8
Parity = None
Stop bit = 1
Flow control = Hardware
Press OK, and the PC is now ready to receive data from your test box.
