and can be downloaded from:-http://www.gillinstruments.com/main/software.html.

2. Run Hypertrm.exe (Typically accessed via Start All Programs Accessories
CommunicationsHyperterminal).
3. Create a New Connection (File New Connection)
4. Enter a Name (eg WindObserver 65) .
5. Change ‘Connect Using’ to ‘Direct to Com 1’ (or other Com port as required)
6. Adjust the Port settings to match WindObserver settings. WindObserver default
settings are :
