To communicate between the monitor and the software, the connection between the monitor and the
computer must be established first.
2-2-1 Connecting the TM-2420/TM-2421 to the computer
♦
You must use the A&D-supplied RS-232C communication cable, otherwise
communication errors will occur.
♦
Steps 1-4 must be completed prior to accessing the software or it may not recognize that
the monitor is connected to the computer. If proper communication is not established, a
cable check error may occur.
♦
You must use AX-KO600 cable for 9 pin serial port (supplied) or AX-KO599 cable for 25
pin serial port (available separately as an option).
