CONFIGURING THE HyperTerminal
®
PROGRAM
To ensure that the PC is able to communicate to the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo
Board, the HyperTerminal program must be properly configured. This section describes
the configuration that the HyperTerminal program should be in.
The screen-shots shown in Figure F-1 through Figure F-6 show the settings of the
HyperTerminal program in the Windows
®
operating system.
You should save each configuration of the HyperTerminal program in order to easily
distinguish which HyperTerminal program window is “tacking” with which PICDEM™
HPC Explorer Board.
After opening the HyperTerminal program window, select
Call -> Disconnect
. In the
lower-left corner, the HyperTerminal program window will indicate “Disconnected”.
Next, in the HyperTerminal program window, select
File -> Properties
. The window in
Figure F-2 is shown. Ensure that the appropriate COM port is selected for both the
“Golden” unit and the “Testing” unit. Then select the
Configure
button.
