COMMUNICATIONS,
RS-232 DATA TRANSFER
Data is easily transferable by directly sending individual files from the
gage to a PC. Once data is transmitted from the Magna-Mike 8500 it
remains in memory for later use, or until cleared out by the operator.
Therefore, if any errors occur while transmitting data, the information
may be transmitted again.
1.
Confirm that the receiving device is connected and configured
properly. See Appendix I for the receiving device and software
usage.
2.
Confirm that the communications parameters on the Magna-
Mike 8500 are identical to those on the computer or other device
(see Section 5-3).
Note:
The Magna-Mike 8500 can send data to any device capable
of receiving ASCII formatted data using the RS-232 C/D
protocol including personal computers, minicomputers,
Dataloggers, and printers. The data cable must be compatible
with the Magna-Mike 8500 output connector and the serial
input connector of the receiving device. Panametrics-NDT
supplies cables for IBM compatible PC’s and serial printers.
When communicating directly to a printer the Magna-Mike
8500 only works with serial printers.
