cally, beginning at an Operator selected start time and
occurring at an Operator selected interval thereafter
between 1 and 1440 minutes.

munication between the OptiView Control Panel and
a laptop computer running any Terminal Emulation
program such as HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, or PuTTy.
1. Connect the laptop computer to the OptiView as
described below. If your computer does not have a
RS-232 serial port, you will need a USB to serial
converter such as the Digi Edgeport/1.
