Using TempTrend™ CSV
You must connect the System to your computer and power it on before you can use
TempTrend™ CSV to download data logs. Make this connection as described in the
System Operations Manual. To do this you will need either:
 An RS-232 serial cable if your computer has an RS-232 port, or
 A USB-Serial Adaptor cable if your computer does not have an RS-232 port
but does have a USB port.
Your computer will assign a communications port to this connection (a “Com Port”).
TempTrend CSV will attempt to determine which Com Port is in use by System with each
download. However, if you have a non-standard Microsoft installation, you may have to
specify the Com Port in use. See below: Com Port
There are MANY non-standard USB-Serial Adaptor cables in the personal computer
marketplace. Please ensure that:
 You have loaded all the recommended drivers for your USB-Serial Adaptor cable
and that it uses a communication port between Com1 and Com8.
 You do not have another device attempting to use the same communications
port as TempTrend™ CSV.
