P3/14 

1. Remote Interface Overview 

 
Step1.    Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the computer. 
Step2.    Once the USB cable is connected and the USB driver is installed, a virtual COM port 

is created on the computer. 

 
 
 

2. Interface Parameters 

 
In  order  to  operate  the  meter  via  a  host  computer  or  terminal,  the  parameters  in  interface 
within the DT4281,DT4282 have to match the parameters the serial interface provided by the 
host or terminal. 
The  following  procedures  will  guide  the  user  to  set  up  interface  parameters  within  the 
DT4281,DT4282 to comply interface with the host.
