Downloading system prints to a laptop
Download system reports to a .txt file to capture system operating conditions. Use the following
instructions to establish communication between the OptiView Control Panel and a laptop
computer using HyperTerminal software. Although, any terminal emulation program such as Tera
Term or PuTTY can be used.
Note: The following procedure uses HyperTerminal with a Windows laptop.
1. Connect the laptop computer to the OptiView as shown in the following table.
Table 153: Laptop connections
Laptop (RS-232 Serial Port) OptiView (Com 1)
PIN Description Connector Terminal
2 RX to J2 4 (TXD1)
4 DTR to J2 2 (DSR1)
5 GND to J2 8 GND
Note: The majority of newer laptops do not have a RS-232 port, so a RS-232 to USB
adaptor is required. The adaptor may require you to download a driver. Follow the
instructions for the device you are using.
2. Navigate to the Setpoints > Setup > Printer screen and select Printer Type > PC.
