MMF VM30-H, Инструкция по эксплуатации, Страница: 37 / 58

Connect the VM30-H to the RS-232 interface of your PC via the supplied interface cable
VM30-I.
Alternatively, the supplied USB / RS-232 adapter can be used. After its first connection a device
driver will be installed. This should be done automatically by Windows if your PC has internet
access. You may also download the driver for your system version from
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and install it manually.
Windows will assign a COM port number to the USB adapter. This number can be found in
Windows under Control Panel / Device Manager / Ports.
Select the used interface in the drop-down menu “COM-Port“ of the Excel file.
Before importing data from the VM30-H, adjust the baud rates of the instrument and the PC
interface. Select the correct baud rate from the drop-down menu of the Excel software. Standard
setting is 19200 baud. Higher baud rates are possible depending on the PC speed.
At the VM30-H the baud rate is selected as follows: Press the MENU key. Select by the ▲▼
keys “8/8: Device settings”. Go to submenu “5/6: Baud rate“ and choose the desired baud rate
by ▲▼.
In the “Import” worksheet you can change the number of worksheets to be prepared for data
saved in the logger mode. Each log file requires one worksheet. You will get an error message
during the download if there are not enough worksheets. In this case the number can be
increased before repeating data download.
Click “Delete file and import new data.”. It may take some seconds until Excel has prepared the
worksheets for the new VM30-H data. Data is now transferred to the PC. Please make sure that
the VM30-H is in the normal measuring mode for transmission (no menu opened and no
logging active).
At a higher amount of data a bargraph shows the progress of transmission on the VM30-H
display. A message will be displayed on your PC screen after successful transmission.
The imported measuring values can be found in the Excel worksheet “Manual” (see tabs at the
lower edge) if they were saved manually by key pressure or in the worksheets “Logger data ...”
if they were saved in the data logger mode.
