PRINTING STORED DATA TO A SERIAL DEVICE
Downloading stored data manually to a serial device from the Fiber OWL 4 requires a solid working knowledge of
serial COM ports and comma-delimited data formats, and requires a terminal program such as Hyperterminal for
Windows
From the STORED DATA menu, press to download all data points stored in the Fiber OWL 4 to a PC via serial port. There are
two methods of download:
OWL Reporter - data can be downloaded into OWL Reporter software for printing and saving professional-looking certification
reports.
The Fiber OWL 4 does not have to be at this screen to download into OWL Reporter. Details on how to download data to OWL
Reporter are explained in more detail in the OWL Reporter unit of this manual.
Manual Download - data can be downloaded in a comma-delimited format using a terminal
program. Comma-delimited data can be captured from the terminal program and imported into
word processing programs, spreadsheets, or databases for making custom reports.
Once the PC terminal program is correctly configured and set to capture data, press from the
manual download confirmation screen to download stored data.
