11.4 Connecting to a PC
Now that the log file has been created and saved on the PC, the next step is
connecting to a PC to transfer the template file into the UMX-2. There are 2 cables
included with the UMX-2 kit; LEMO to 9 pin serial and 9 PIN serial to USB.
Serial:
The LEMO to 9 pin RS232 cable can be connect directly to any serial port. However,
the serial port number must be known. The actual port reference can be obtained in
the device manager of a Windows® based operating system.
USB:
Both the LEMO to 9 pin serial and 9 pin serial to USB can be connected together to
use the serial to USB converter configuration. This option requires that a driver is
installed for the USB cable. The driver will automatically be loaded when DakView3
PC software is installed. However, the driver files will also be included in the
‘examples’ folder on your desktop. This folder is created by DakView3 when
installed.
The following procedure outlines the steps for connecting and transferring the
template file to the UMX-2 as follows:
Uploading the Log File
1) Remove the bottom end cap of the UMX-2, in order to access the LEMO
data jack. Remove the rubber plug from the data jack.
2) Plug the LEMO connector into the data jack. Note: align the red pin on the
connector with the data jack.
