The MC1000 calibrator can be used with
virtually any terminal emulation software. (i.e.
Procomm or HyperTerminal)
When connected properly, data will be transmit-
ted as soon as the calibrator is turned on. The
data transmitted to the terminal or computer will
mirror that sent to the calibrators LCD display
and will be updated approximately every 0.4
seconds.
