10. HyperTerminal:
Click on the phone icon just below “View”
to connect. If the connection is not
available, repeat the procedure, selecting
a different COM port in step 4.
11. When HyperTerminal is connected, press the
reset button of the FTC. The FTC will read as
follows:

Reading embedded parameters … Reading column data
Column id : 12345 Column serial number
Length m : 10 Column length in meters
Phase id : VB-1 250um Column phase, film thickness (µm) & inside diameter (µm)
Element equation : Column temperature vs. resistance equation
R(T) = 1.31039E1 + 6.44364E-2 * T + 1.74357E – 4 * T^2
M = 1.550 Heat capacity of the column
Alpha = 2.10000E-2 Time constant in seconds, how fast does the temp. rise
Lambda = 1.00000E-4 PWM dampener
Max. temp = 340 Column maximum temperature
