Uploading Test Results to a PC
To upload saved test results (both text-based and graphical ASCII files) to a
PC, do the following:
1. Connect the CopperPro to a PC (see “Connecting to a PC” in Chapter 2)
using the supplied serial cable.
2. Set up a standard PC communications program (HyperTerminal,
TeraTerm, etc.) as follows:
• Baud rate =
38,400 bps, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit, No Parity, No Flow
Control.
3. On the tester’s LCD, display one of the following:
• Text-based results (as shown in Figure 7-3)
• The list of TDR waveforms with the desired trace selected (as shown
in Figure 7-4)
• The list of frequency sweep graphs with the desired graph selected (as
shown in Figure 7-5).
4. Start the PC communications program.
5. Uploading:
• Text Based Results- Press D (Upload), then either A (Column
Format) to use the normal column viewing format; or B
(Spreadsheet Format) to use a “tab-delimited” format for direct
importing into a spreadsheet program. The ASCII data will begin
uploading.
• TDR Waveform or Graph- Press D (Upload) and the ASCII data
will immediately begin uploading to the PC in tab-delimited format
for spreadsheet compatibility.
Note
To transfer a graphic screen image to a PC, rather than the data file
described above, see “Transferring a Screen Image to PC” in
Chapter 3.
