Interface Connections and Data Memory
Stored data can be accessed by recall to the screen (see ‘View Log’).
Alternatively, data can be accessed using a PC :-
 Connect the instrument to the computer via the USB port, using any
suitable USB cable, eg PT 746
 Turn the instrument ON and select ‘system mode’.
 Scroll to ‘USB’ and select either ‘Hard Drive’ or ‘COM Port’.
‘Hard Drive’ – Once this option is selected, simply turning the instrument ON
while it is connected to a PC will cause an extra hard drive containing the
instrument files to appear on the PC. The log of test results is in text file –
‘7500_LOG.txt’. The other files shown on screen contain calibration and
operating systems for use when upgrading the instrument and should be
ignored.
The log file can be copied from the instrument by dragging between
windows and once copied can be opened with many text editors, word
processors or spreadsheet programs.
Note that deleting this file from the instrument hard drive window
will clear the data from the instrument memory.
‘COM Port’ – Once this option is selected, data can be downloaded from
the instrument to the PC :-
 Open the ‘Virtual COM Port – HyperTerminal’ window on the computer

In the instrument SYSTEM mode, scroll to ‘View Log’ and select
‘Download’.
The data from the log will appear on the PC screen and can be transferred
to Windows’ applications or printed as required.
