Communicating with SITRANS F 1010 Systems via the RS-232 Interface
The following sections assume that you are familiar with the basics of using Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP based communications program. All PC computers provide at least one
serial port using either a 9-pin or 25-pin D-type connector. The port designation can be either
COM 1 or COM 2. Usually, when a computer includes two serial ports, COM 1 will be the 9-
pin connector and COM 2 will be the 25-pin connector. However, port designations can vary
from manufacturer to manufacturer, so you will have to positively identify the COM port you
wish to use for the flow meter interface. Connect the cable between the flow meter and your
PC using the 25-pin, 9-pin or USB to RS-232 adapter connector, depending upon the port’s
architecture.
How to use the Windows HyperTerminal Program
Note
Si-Ware
If you want to use the Si-Ware program instead of HyperTerminal, download the program at
[http://s13.me/ns/cv] and follow the setup instructions.
Windows provides a communication program called HyperTerminal, which is ideal for
interfacing your computer with the flow meter. The following typical example explains how to
set up HyperTerminal.
Note
Depending upon the Windows applications being used this setup procedure may vary.
1. From the Windows desktop, left-click on the [START] button.
2. Holding down the left mouse button, move the highlight up to [Programs], then across to
[Accessories]. Slide the highlight down to [HyperTerminal], then release the left mouse
button.
3. Within the HyperTerminal window, move the mouse pointer down to [Hyperterm.exe] and
then double-click the left mouse button.
4. This selects the [Connection Description] dialog box. Enter a name for your connection
(e.g., 1010N). You can optionally select an icon for this connection by clicking on one of
the icons displayed in the scrolling frame at the bottom of the window. Click [OK].
5. This selects the [Phone Number] dialog box. Move the cursor to the arrow at the right of
the [Connect Using] field. Left click on the arrow to expand the field and then move the
highlight down to [Direct to Com 1 (or 2)] depending on the port connected to the
interface cable. Click [OK] to select the [Com 1 (or 2) Properties] Dialog box. Set up your
RS-232 parameters as shown in the example below. Left-click on the [OK] button.
