5.7 Data Exporting 

Export data from the meter to a computer or printer. Use 
the 

Log Export Type

 item in the meter Setup Menu to set 

the export type as computer or printer.  

If computer is selected, logs are exported in CSV format.  

If printer is selected, logs are exported in list format.

5.7.1 USB Computer Cable 

Interfacing 

Orion Lab Star meters include a computer cable that 
allows the meter to be interfaced with a computer using a 
standard USB-A computer port.  

 

Power on the meter. 

 

First, connect the computer cable to the EXPORT 
port on the back of the meter. 

 

Second, connect the computer cable to a standard 
USB-A port on the computer. 

 

After the computer cable is connected to the 
computer, the computer should automatically 
identify the cable and install the required driver.  

a.

 

If the driver is not automatically installed, go to 

www.thermofisher.com/orionsoftware

 and 

download the USB computer cable driver for 
Orion Lab Star series meters.  

 

Once the driver is installed, data can be transferred 
from the meter to a computer using computer 
programs such as LIMs, Putty, LabView, 
HyperTerminal or similar programs.  

a.

 

To record the COM port location of the 
computer cable, use the computer’s Device 
Manager tool.  

5.7.2 Remote Commands 

Remote commands allow the meter to be interfaced with 
computer software like LIMs and HyperTerminal.  

The remote engine receives input from the serial port and 
processes it. Commands sent to the remote interface will 
be in the form of “OPCODE <OPERAND> CR”.  

 

Only one command can be executed at a time. A 
new command cannot be issued until the previous 
command is done and prompt is given, shown as 
the greater than symbol (“>”) followed by a space. 

 

Empty commands (i.e. just a <CR>) will be ignored 
and a new prompt will be issued.  

 

<CR> (Carriage Return, ASCII 13) is used to 
terminate a command. Whenever this character is 
received, the internal buffer will be processed. 

 

Remote commands are not case sensitive.

GETCAL 
MODE <CR> 

Prints the calibration 

data for specific mode 
 

MODE = COND or SAL 

or SAL PSU or TDS 

GETCAL 
COND 

GETLOG 

<CR> 

Prints all logged

Output format is based 
on the Log Export Type 

setting 
 
If no data is logged, 
returns “>” to receive 
next command
