The VetScan VS2 Analyzer is equipped to transmit patient and control
results in 8-bit, ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Inter-
change) format to a computer through a USB port. To receive the results
from the VS2, the computer requires terminal emulation software, such
as HyperTerminal, which is included with Windows 95 and higher. The
computer also requires driver software to communicate with the VS2.
The results can be captured to a text file to be viewed with most word
processing, spreadsheet, and database applications. This section
describes the transmission specifications, hardware connections, and use
of HyperTerminal to capture results to a text file.
Note: Veterinary management software can also interface
with the VS2 to collect results. Since each such instal-
lation varies, contact your software supplier for more
information.
