communications software package that will allow you to transfer
data from 2020 to a computer. If you are using Microsoft®
Windows™, you do not need to purchase any separate software.
Instructions for downloading information to Windows’
HyperTerminal are provided below.
If you are already using another type of communication or terminal
emulation software package it is not necessary to use
HyperTerminal. Use your communications package to set up the
computer to receive data with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity at
the desired baud rate. Refer to the user’s manual, provided with
your software, for specific details.
Once the data have been transferred to HyperTerminal, they must
be saved to a floppy disk or a hard disk. In order to manipulate the
data you must import the data either as a text file into a spreadsheet,
where they may be parsed and converted to numeric data, or into a
text editor or word processor where they may be viewed and edited.
Refer to the computer setup options to determine the baud rate, as
this value will depend on the computer. 2020’s baud rate can be set
from 1200 to 19200 to match the computer’s setting.
The instructions below will provide you with the most basic
information for using 2020 with communications software. Please
refer to the software user’s manual for specific details of operation.
If you are using Microsoft Windows you do not need to purchase
any separate software. You can use the HyperTerminal program
that is shipped with Windows.
In order to use these instructions, you must be familiar with
Microsoft Windows and it must be installed and running on your
computer. These instructions are based on HyperTerminal Version
1.1.
