Computer Connection
Single Device Connection
The	HM-1327	can	be	connected	to	a	PC	computer	to	take	advantage	of	
Humboldt’s HMTS software capabilities, conduct real time data logging 
and enhanced report generation, or with the HM Download Software to 
download tests performed directly on the device. This is accomplished via 
the RS-232 port on the back panel of the machine (refer to Figures 7 & 8.). 
Use a RS-232 cable (supplied) and attach it between the computer’s RS-232 
port and the HM-1327.
The	minimum	compatible	computer	configuration	is	a	PC	with	Pentium	III	
800	MHz	processor,	512	MB	of	RAM		and	a	40GB	hard	drive.		Windows	2000	
or	XP	with	SP2	or	later.
Analog Device Connection
The HM-1327 can be set up to output directly to a chart recorder to provide 
a hard copy printout of test results. To accomplish this, connect your chart 
recorder via cable attached to the HM-1327’s Analogue port on the back 
panel (see Figure 7).
