7.0 Data collection on the PC
WARNING: ONLY connect USB cable to USB port while unit is OFF.
The ProFLOW 6000 provides you with a data stream of real-time flow values via the USB port (Figure 1, p. 3). In
order to use this feature, you must first install the appropriate FTDI Virtual Com Port (VCP) Driver available at:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
The VCP driver will cause the ProFLOW to appear as a standard RS-232 port. This will work on any operating
system for which there is an FTDI VCP driver. After installing the driver, connecting the device, and determining
which port it creates, you can access the data stream through any programmatic means, or by using any serial
terminal software.
For Windows systems:
To determine which port the ProFLOW is using, go to the Control Panel and open System. Go to the Hardware
tab and click the Device Manager button. Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) entry. Make sure the VCP driver is
installed and then connect a powered ProFLOW 6000 to the USB port. You will see the new COM port appear.
Open your serial terminal.
