DigitalFlow™ GS868 Programming Manual (2-Channel)
6.4.2 Windows 9X/NT Systems
Windows 9X/NT systems use a program called
Hyperterminal to access the serial ports. To set up serial
communications with a personal computer running under Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT, make sure the
GS868 is powered on and complete the following steps:
1.
From the Windows
START
menu, select
PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>HYPERTERMINAL>HYPERTERMINAL
.
2.
The
NEW CONNECTION
window should appear (if it does not, select it from the
FILE
menu). After entering the
desired
CONNECTION NAME
and selecting an
ICON,
click on
OK
.
3.
When the
CONNECT TO
window appears, select the serial communications port (
COM1
or
COM2
) to which the
GS868 is connected and click on
OK
.
4.
When the
COMx PROPERTIES
window appears, make sure the settings are as follows:
• Bits per Second: 9600 (must match the GS868 setting)
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: Xon/Xoff
After making any necessary changes, click on
OK
.
5.
Open the
TRANSFER
menu and select
CAPTURE TEXT
. Enter the desired
DRIVE:\DIRECTORY\FILENAME
for the file
about to be transmitted, and click on
OK
.
6.
From the keypad on the GS868, enter the
menu and select the log file to be uploaded to the computer in
numeric format. See Chapter 4,
Printing Data, for detailed instructions on this procedure.
7.
The logged data will begin appearing on the computer screen. When the transfer has been completed, open the
TRANSFER
menu and select
CAPTURE TEXT>STOP
. The uploaded file may now be used in any software program,
just like any other text file.
Note:
If the RS232 link does not function, switching the leads to pins 2 (TX) and 3 (RX) at the RS232 connector on the
meter often solves the problem.
