This menu option sends the data saved in the porometer to
the terminal software running on your computer.
NOTE: Your Leaf Porometer comes with the Leaf Porometer Utility
software for Microsoft Windows. The Utility makes downloading data
to your computer very easy. In general, you should use the Leaf Porom-
eter Utility to download data instead of this menu option on the Poro-
meter. See Chapter 4 for more information.
If you are unable to use the Leaf Porometer Utility, you can
use terminal software to transfer the data from your porom-
eter to your computer. The following steps should apply to
most terminal software programs:
1. Configure your terminal software with the following
settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
• No software/hardware flow control
• Append line feeds to incoming line ends
• Echo typed characters locally.
2. Connect your Leaf Porometer to an available serial
port on your computer using the included RS-232
serial cable.
3. Set your terminal software to capture received data
if you want to save the data.
4. Select “Download” from the Data Menu of the Leaf
Porometer.
