There are several commercially available software packages, which can read RS232 data
and enter the data into a computer program such as a word processor (to create a text
file) or spreadsheet (to tabulate and plot the data). Consult your laboratory supply
dealer regarding the latest software available.
The following describes how to use an IBM compatible computer with Hyper Terminal™
software (included with Windows® 95, 98, XP or 2000 operating systems) to collect the
RS232 data from your Logic+:
* Note – Starting with Windows Vista Microsoft no longer includes HyperTerminal with
Windows.
1. Make sure that the Logic+ is properly connected to the communication port on the
computer.
2. Open Hyper Terminal™ software.
i) Windows® 95 or 98 use:
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES.
ii) Windows® 2000 or XP use:
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/COMMUNICATIONS
The first time Hyper Terminal™ is opened a dialogue box requesting an area code
and phone number will appear. Enter the appropriate numbers and continue.
3. The “Connection Description” dialogue box will
open. Type in a user defined name and select an
icon for the new connection. Press “OK.”
4. The “Connect To” dialogue box will open. Using
the down arrow selection button, select the
communication port to which the cable has been
connected. Press “OK.”
