3.7.1 How to set-up an RS232 connection

If you want to download a stored data log, or output live data logging to a PC, you must first establish RS232

This procedure provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a HyperTerminal connection, which is a standard
Windows® XP application (not available on Vista). The default location of HyperTerminal is:

Start>All

Programs>Accessories>Communications>HyperTerminal
