Sending data to a computer
The process for sending the data to a computer is same as that of sending the data to a printer. Turn off
both the indicator and the computer. Connect the indicator to the computer with the help of the supplied
serial interface cable. Turn on both the computer and the indicator.
You will need a standard commercially available terminal emulation program (software) like “Tango”,
“Crosstalk” or “Terminal” (included with Microsoft Windows 3.1) or HyperTerminal (included with
Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP) etc. to transfer data from the indicator to the computer. You will also
need the users’ manual for your terminal emulation program to find out how to set the communications
parameter and how to receive text files.
Start your terminal emulation program, configure the serial port to which you have connected the
indicator. Select ‘receive text file’ option and when the computer is ready to accept the file press the
‘PRINT’ or ‘SEND’ key on the indicator. The operation of the ‘PRINT’ and the ‘SEND’ key is identical. The
difference is in the way the transferred data is formatted. This difference is explained a little later in this
section.
As in the case of printing the display will prompt you to select either ‘log data’ or ‘setup data’. Press the
appropriate key, ‘1’ for log data, ‘2’ for setup data, then press ‘ENTER’ to confirm. The indicator will start
sending data to the computer and the display will show
* SENDING DATA *
As soon as the data transfer is over the display will flash
* DONE *
and revert to normal measurement mode.
You should save the transferred file as a text file (with a .txt file extension). The file is a standard ASCII
text file, i.e. it does not contain any non-printable character or any proprietary formatting information.
While transferring data to the computer you have two ways of formatting the data. If you want to send the
data to the computer to be printed at a later time you should use the ‘PRINT’ key. The data transferred is
exactly that which is sent to the printer and is formatted in a way which is easily readable by human
