RealTerm, etc.). You can download RealTerm* software from:

After installation, click the Port tab and set the following:
Baud: 115200
Port: The appropriate VCP for your ProFLOW
Parity: None

Go to the USB menu entry in the ProFLOW and turn the transmission on. Finally, click
Open
on the Port tab in
RealTerm and you will see the serial data stream begin in the terminal window (Figure 8).
If you would like to log the flow data, this can be done by clicking on the Capture tab. Set File to the name
