5.0 Data Collection
Summary:
The SciTemp ® Temperature Monitor has two serial ports. The serial port which is
labeled “Pinter / PC,” is used for RS-232 serial communication with a PC or serial printer.
SciTemp ® has made available a software package that includes an Excel spreadsheet with
custom macros that is automatically populated when data is received. It also automatically
populates a graph in real time as the data is generated. Discussion of this package begins on
the next page.
Alternatively, when a PC is connected to this serial port, all data generated can be sent to the
“HyperTerminal” program of your PC. HyperTerminal is ok for viewing the data in real time, but
can be a challenge for actually capturing and retrieving the data. The HyperTerminal settings
are provided for you in section 6.2 entitled “PC HyperTerminal Settings.”
