4.13.1 Administrating user-defined programs with a terminal
program
Generally, a terminal program serves to establish a connection to a de-
vice on a data interface and to communicate with the device via a con-
sole on the display.
Thus, it is also possible to send command lines.
Terminal programs are available for different operating systems by dif-
ferent manufacturers. Windows (version 95 to XP) contains the "Hyper-
Terminal" terminal program. It is in the program menu under
accessories.
For more detailed information please refer to the user information of the
terminal program.
Note
The CD-ROM contains a configuration file for the HyperTerminal pro-
gram. By double-clicking the configuration file (*.ht), the HyperTerminal
with the required pre-settings for data exchange with the meter is
opened.
The pHotoFlex (Turb) can administrate the database of user-defined
programs via command lines.
