Note:
Most computers are configured with
at least one serial port (identified as COM
1), and some have a second serial port,
usually identified as (COM 2). Check your
computer manual to locate and identify a
serial port connector. Even if you have a
physical COM port you need to make sure
it is working properly before you proceed.
Consult your computer manual. If your
computer serial port is configured for 25
pin you will need to obtain an adapter from
your computer store. If your computer
does not have an available serial port and
you’re planning on using
Windows HYPER
Terminal
as illustrated below, you will need
to buy and install an adapter card with a
serial port.
The BVA-200EX will interface with any
basic (ANSI) terminal emulation software.
Most operating systems contain a program
that will do this. For other operating
systems consult the Manual for that system.

Then “Programs”
