APPENDIX A: Data Output Options
For special applications, the user can change the output of the Sensor. From the Outputs Menu,
you can change the speed, format, and type of data. Some of these options are not compatible in
Capture, but are useful for proprietary data logging systems.
Connect the serial cable to a null modem adapter (available at most electronics store or can be
purchased from NTech, p/n 350-6-077) then to a PC’s available serial port. Run HyperTerminal
with the following Com port settings:
38,400 Baud, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow Control: None.
Turn on the Sensor and the following header will display:
