Computer Compatibility and Requirements
The Orion Star A220 series meters can send measurements and calibration data to a computer
in a comma delimited format that is easy to parse in computer programs like Excel.
The baud rate of Orion Star A220 series meters can be set to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
or 38400. The fixed meter settings are:
Number of Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits:
1
Parity: None
Flow Control: XON/XOFF
The meter will send measurements and calibration data to the computer if the printer option is
turned on in the setup menu. Alternatively, measurements and calibration data can be sent to
the data log and calibration log. From the data log and calibration log, the operator can chose to
print a single data log point, a range of data log points or the entire data log.
The computer must be up-to-date with the latest Windows updates installed and have .NET
framework version 4.0 with the latest updates.
All computer screen savers and power management settings should be disabled when the
meter is interfaced with the computer. The computer should not go into sleep/standby mode
while the meter is transferring data. Laptop computers should be plugged into a power supply,
running on battery power is not recommended.
Three computer cables can be used to interface the Orion Star A220 series portable meters
with a computer – the Orion Star series USB-to-Serial computer cable (Cat. No. 1010005),
Orion Star series RS232 computer cable (Cat. No. 1010053) or a standard Mini B USB to USB
computer cable.
