9.1.2 Example of use
In this example we use:
• One PC with a RS232 port.
• One "RS-485<->RS232 converter"
Procedure:
1. Connect both RS-485 wires of the instrument to the "RS-485<->RS232 converter".
2. Connect the "RS-485<->RS232 converter" to the PC RS232 port using a standard cable
(RS232 DB9 straight cable).
On the PC:
1. Run "Hyperterminal" on the PC.
2. Configure the PC COM port used (e.g. COM2). Menu "File/Properties/Configure".
3. Configure the parameters "Baud rate", "Parity", "Nb of stop bits", "Byte size" (Menu
"File/Properties/Configure"). Use the same parameters for the instrument and the PC.
4. Configure the "Font = Courier 10" (Menu "View/Font").
5. Connect "Hyperterminal" (Menu "Call/Call").
6. Save the data received in the file of your choice (Menu "Transfer/Capture Text/Start").
On the instrument:
1. Use the menu "Communication/RS-485 Simple/Send files" and the button "All files".
When the transfer is finished, close the file with "Hyperterminal" (Menu "Transfer/Capture
Text/Stop"). Now, all the reports are saved in a text file on your PC.
