Setting up remote control via Microsoft HYPERTERMINAL.EXE
1) Connect the cable between the RS232 socket on the light meter and
the COM port on the PC.
2) Switch on the light meter.
3) Run the
HyperTerminal
programme.
4) Enter a name for the session (e.g. L202 etc.).
5) Select the type of connection required, either option 'direct to com 1' or
'direct to com 2' depending on which com port is to be used.
6) Enter the details for the serial connection: 4800 bits per second, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
7) Click the properties icon or select via the
File / Properties
option to
display the properties window.
8) Select the
Settings
tab and select Auto detect for the
Emulation
setting.
9) Click the

button.
Enter 100 into the box marked
Line
delay
. No other options are necessary. Click on OK to return to the
main window.
10)Check the RS232 link by downloading a reading using the command
'o', (lowercase o). This also allows auto detect to correctly identify the
meter settings, showing 4800 8-N-1 next to the Auto detect message
in the status bar. A reading should appear in the main window if the
connection has been made successfully.
11)To save the terminal setup go to
File / Save As
and save settings.
When restarting the programme the settings can be loaded directly by
double-clicking on the *.ht icon that has been created. Now actions 4
to 9 can be omitted.
