Data Collection
Basic Tools
• AILink
The Advanced Instruments utility, AILink may be used to collect and
save the serial port messages via the AITerminal tab. This will cre-
ate a text file that may be imported into third party software, such as
Microsoft
®
Excel. Refer to Excel documentation on how to import a
delimited text file. Once properly imported, you may use the head-
ing information supplied above for each message type to read or sort
the message strings.
• HyperTerminal
Some versions of Microsoft Windows
®
contain a utility for serial
port communications that can be used to capture serial port output in
much the same manner as described for AILink. Consult Microsoft
®
documentation and the instrument user’s guide for information on
setting up a HyperTerminal session.
