Communication Menu

9.1.2 Example of use

In this example we use:

One PC with a RS232 port.

One "RS-485<->RS232 converter"

Procedure:

1.

Connect both RS-485 wires of the instrument to the "RS-485<->RS232 converter".

2.

Connect the "RS-485<->RS232 converter" to the PC RS232 port using a standard cable
(RS232 DB9 straight cable).

On the PC:

1.

Run "Hyperterminal" on the PC.

2.

Configure the PC COM port used (e.g. COM2). Menu "File/Properties/Configure".

3.

Configure the parameters "Baud rate", "Parity", "Nb of stop bits", "Byte size" (Menu
"File/Properties/Configure"). Use the same parameters for the instrument and the PC.

4.

Configure the "Font = Courier 10" (Menu "View/Font").

5.

Connect "Hyperterminal" (Menu "Call/Call").

6.

Save the data received in the file of your choice (Menu "Transfer/Capture Text/Start").

On the instrument:

1.

Use the menu "Communication/RS-485 Simple/Send files" and the button "All files".

When the transfer is finished, close the file with "Hyperterminal" (Menu "Transfer/Capture
Text/Stop"). Now, all the reports are saved in a text file on your PC.
