Terminals
The Terminals module allows communication with the device through an ASCII

terminal without leaving the Flow Vision™ SC program.
To begin a terminal session, you will need to open the Terminal module tab.

If you do not see the Terminal module tab refer to section 2 (page 11) for

instruction on how to make the Terminal module visible.
Upon accessing the Terminal module tab, you will see the communication port

to which your unit is attached.
Before beginning a terminal session, make sure that Flow Vision™ SC is not

polling the connected instrument(s). If the program is polling, you will see

polled data on the terminal window.
Begin the terminal session by double clicking on the communication port to

which the instrument you would like to poll is connected.
A window will appear that will allow you to communicate with the instrument as

you would via a terminal window.
