BAM 1020-9800 Manual Rev W.docx 

Page 81 

USB Connections:

 

Most newer computers no longer have the 9-Pin serial communications port  In these 
situations, BAM 1020 monitors may still be connected to the computers by using a USB to 
serial converter.  Of the converters commonly available in local electronics and office supply 
stores, Met One Instruments, Inc. has seen the most reliable performance from those 
manufactured by Belkin. 

Newer BAM 1020 monitors (or older models with the optional Report Processor installed) will 
have an active USB port available on the back panel. Contact the Met One Instruments, Inc. 
service department to obtain the necessary drivers for the computer to allow it to 
communicate with the BAM in this manner. 

Communication Settings: 

The BAM 1020 communicates at 9600 Baud, 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow 
control. The default 9600 baud rate may be changed to a faster setting for downloading large 
BAM data files, but in any case, the terminal program baud rate must match the BAM baud 
setting. If unable to establish communications, try changing the RS-232 Polarity switch (or the 
Report Polarity switch, if using the REPORT connection) on the back of the BAM 1020. This 
swaps the polarity of the TX and RX lines (pins 2&3) and functions as a null modem. 

NOTE: 

The BAM 1020 user interface must be in the main top-level menu or OPERATE menu 

before any communication can be established through the RS-232 port. The LCD display and 
keypad on the BAM 1020 are disabled whenever RS-232 communication with the CPU is in 
progress. The optional REPORT port does not have these limitations.  

9.2  Using Met One Comet Communications Software 

Each BAM 1020 is supplied with a free copy of Comet

™

 utility software from Met One 

Instruments. Comet is a communications terminal program which can retrieve data from the 
BAM 1020 using either a direct local connection or a remote connection via various modem 
types or even an IP address. The CD contains complete instructions. 

The Comet program is very simple and easy to use and can be mastered quickly without 
having to navigate any of the BAM terminal menus described in sections 9.3 and 9.4.
