SOFTWARE SETUP
If SmartTalk or ISS software has been supplied with the instrument refer to the appropriate
manual for the installation and configuration of these programs. Both of these programs are
supplied with Install Shield to simplify installation.
If a terminal emulation program such as Hyperterminal (Windows) or Procomm (DOS) is to
be used launch the program. Select the appropriate com port (to which the instrument is
connected), set the communications format to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and select a baud
rate between 2400 and 38400 baud. Apply power to the instrument and press the <

key. The standard Micro SVT Sensor will respond with its header information. Note that
some units may be configured for custom outputs and may not respond with a header. This
header identifies the sensor type, serial number and firmware version. The sensor is then
ready to accept commands. If the sensor does not respond refer to the trouble-shooting
guide in section 6.3 or the instrument configuration in Appendix A.
The command summary for communicating with the instrument is given in section 5.
