The TU-20D may send data logging information to a compatible computer by connecting the unit and
the PC via an RS232 cable, and installing the “Thermsoft” software. Contact your supplier for details.
The RS232 cable must be fitted to both the unit and the PC before either unit is powered up, otherwise,
data integrity cannot be guaranteed. Once the cable is fitted, it does not matter which unit is powered
up first.
