2.6 Communication Setup Example Using HyperTerminal
NOTE: If using a 8002-4-2 USB LC-2x4, it is important that the LC-2x4 first be connected to the
computer’s USB port before attempting to communicate so that the LC-2x4 can be recognized by
the computer as a virtual COM port.
Proceed with the following steps to connect with the datalogger using a terminal emulator
program such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal™:
1) Launch HyperTerminal (
Start → All Programs → Accessories → Communications → HyperTerminal
). If
running under Vista or newer, contact Geokon for Geokon’s Terminal Window Software.
2) Enter a name for the New Connection and click OK (see Figure 13):
Figure 13 - HyperTerminal Connection Description
3) In the Connect Using window, select the appropriate COM port (see Figure 14):
