There are several commercially available software packages, which can read RS-232
data and enter the data into a computer program such as a word processor (to create a
text file) or spreadsheet (to tabulate and plot the data). Consult your laboratory
supply catalog regarding the latest software available.
The following describes how to use an IBM compatible computer with Hyper
Terminal™ software (included with Windows® 95, 98, 2000 operating systems)
to collect the RS-232 data from your Washer:
1.
Make certain that the Washer is properly connected to the communication port
on the computer and that the communication port is enabled on the computer.
2.
Open Hyper Terminal™ software.
i) Windows® 95 or 98 use:
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES
ii) Windows® 2000 use:
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/COMMUNICATIONS
The first time Hyper Terminal™ is opened, a dialogue box requesting an area
code and phone number will appear. Enter the appropriate numbers and continue.
This phone number is required to proceed, but will never be dialed when the
Washer is used.
3.
The “Connection Description” dialogue box will open. Type in a user defined
name and select an icon for the new connection. Press “OK.”
