COMMUNICATIONS
The SI-AQ VOC Monitor communicates with a PC either using the USB cable or wirelessly using its
internal Bluetooth
®
(BT) module. If your computer does not have internal BT capabilities, use the
external BT module that is supplied with the SI-AQ VOC.
The communication protocol is as follows:
BAUD RATE: 115000 baud
FORMAT: 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
HANDSHAKE: None
USB CONNECTION
For USB connections, use the A-to-B type USB cable supplied with the instrument. To establish a USB
connection, the FTDI USB driver must first be installed on your computer. The USB drivers for Windows
computers are located on the SAUERMANN USB Thumb Drive:
•
When you plug the USB cable from the computer to the monitor, you should hear a small “da-
ding” sound indicating that the USB connection has been made.
•
If you have the FTDI USB driver already installed in your computer, the computer will know and
will NOT initialize the “New Hardware Wizard”.
•
If the New Hardware Wizard appears you need to install the FTDI USB driver. To install this
driver:
1.
Locate the FTDI USB driver on the CD and save it to your desktop.
2.
Follow the instructions in the New Hardware Wizard
3.
You will have to go through the wizard
twice
, once to install the ftdiport.inf file and once
for the ftdibus.inf file.
BLUETOOTH
®
CONNECTION
For Bluetooth
®
connections, the connection process varies with different Bluetooth
®
devices. Follow
your manufacturer’s instructions for adding a device. The
SAUERMANN’ Bluetooth
®
modem is a Class 1 device, with a maximum range of 100 m. Obstacles
such as walls and equipment will reduce the effective range.
