Remote Communication

The U1401A has a bidirectional (full duplex) communication 
capability that makes it very easy to transfer data from the 
instrument to a PC. 

The required accessory for this feature is an optional 
IR- USB cable and the application software in the 
accompanying CD.

To communicate with the personal computer through remote 
communication:

1

Set up the communication parameters of the instrument 
and the personal computer you are using. The default 
values for baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bit for the 
instrument are 9600, n, 8, and 1 respectively.

2

Make sure that the USB driver and the Agilent data logger 
software has been installed on your computer.

3

Attach the optic side of the cable to the communication 
port on the instrument. Make sure that the text side is 
facing upwards. See 

Figure 1- 10

 on page 25.

4

Plug the other end of the USB cable terminal into the 
USB port of your personal computer.

5

Use the data transfer software to retrieve the data that 
you need.

6

Press the flaps to remove the cable from the 
communication port of the instrument. See 

Figure 1- 11

 on 

page 25.

7

It is not recommended to remove the connector cover of 
the IR- USB cable. But sometime, while pressing the flap 
to unplug the cable, the connector cover may come off 
accidentally as shown in 

Figure 1- 11

 on page 25. To 

N O T E

You will need to download the Agilent data logger software from Agilent’s 
website in order to use this feature. Please go to: 

http://www.agilent.com/find/hhTechLib

 to download the software.
