Set up Inquiry Mode
Inquiry mode is similar to manual datalogging where a data 

point will be sent to the PC based on a user defined character 

or the Enter key being pressed from the PC keyboard. 
Press MENU key

Use DOWN or UP ARROW to highlight “Modes…

Press ENTER

Use DOWN or UP ARROW to highlight “Communications …”

Press ENTER

Use DOWN or UP ARROW to highlight “Journal/Inquiry……”

Press ENTER

Use DOWN or UP ARROW to highlight “Inquiry character…”

Press ENTER

Display will show “Set Inquiry Char”

Use DOWN or UP ARROW to select a Character 

Press ENTER
Notes: 
•  This is the character on the PC keyboard that will trigger 

data being collected from the HHC each time the character is 

pressed. 

•  The default character from the factory is the carriage return 

(Enter Key on a PC keypad)

•  Upper case and lower case characters are available for selec-

tion. However, data transmission will be initiated based on the 

alpha character regardless of upper/lower case designation.

•  A blank space appears between lower case characters and 

numeric characters. If the blank space is selected, the space 

bar on the PC keyboard will trigger data collection when 

pressed. 

HHC will revert to Measurement Mode. 
If the PC is set up with the terminal emulation program running 

and set to the proper COM port whenever the inquiry character 

is pressed an entry will be made
