USB driver software (virtual COM port) must be installed on the computer and the meter should
be updated to software revision 3.04 or higher.
1.
Power on the meter and connect the meter to the computer using the appropriate computer

Terminal and HyperTerminal apply.
3.

4.
Verify that the meter export data setting is on. Match the baud rate set in the meter to the
computer setting. Selecting a higher baud rate will allow for faster data transfer.
5.
Data will transfer from the meter to the computer, depending on the meter read type and
command settings.
Note: If the meter is powered off for any reason (auto-shut off, loss of power, etc.) the
connection will need to be reestablished by repeating the steps above.
