8. Check the values, units and modes in your profile to ensure they are all valid and correct. If you
are going into the Leak mode at any point, then make sure that you achieve that point in Control
mode before you actually change to Leak mode. For example, if you want to perform a Leak at
18,000 feet, then you must have one point in Control mode which takes the Static output to 18,000
feet, followed by another point where the Static output is put into Leak mode at 18,000 feet.
9. Now that the profile is complete, save the profile as an Excel file ( .xls file) using the name of the
profile as the filename. Then save it again using the “Save As” command but this time change
the file type (using the “Save as type:” drop-down selection ) to “Text - Tab delimited”. Use the
profile name as the filename again. You will get many warnings from Excel about the
incompatibility of this text file, but simply say “Yes” to all the warnings. Once you have saved
the file as a text file, you will need to close the file. When you do this, many more warnings will
pop up. Please say “yes” to all these too.
10. At the end, you should have two files for your new profile. One .xls file and one .txt file, both
with the same filename. Your profile has been created.
4.3 SETTING UP HYPERTERMINAL
You load a profile into the 6300 using the Hyperterminal program. At first you need to setup
Hyperterminal. You only need to do this once.
1. Hyperterminal comes loaded in your PC as part of the accessories. Go into “All Programs”, then
select “Accessories”, then select “Communication”, then select Hyperterminal. It will ask you to
setup a new connection. Create a new connection with the name “6300”. A dialog box named
“Connect To” will appear. The bottom selection in this box is “Connect using”. From the drop
down menu in “Connect using”, select “COM1”. Select “OK”. A new dialog box will open
named “Com1 Properties”. Setup the Port Settings as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow control: None
Select “Apply”. Then select “OK”. This will take you into the “6300 Hyperterminal” window.
2. Select “File”. Select “Properties”. A new dialog box “6300 Properties” appears. Select the
“Settings” tab. In the “Emulation” menu select “ANSI”. Select “OK”. Now you are back in the
“6300 Hyperterminal” window. Select “File”, select “Save”. Close this window. A warning
appears, select “Yes”. Hyperterminal is now setup.
3. To verify that the 6300 file is setup in Hyperterminal, select “All Programs” from the desktop,
select “Accessories”, select “Communications”, select “Hyperterminal”. The “6300” icon should
appear. If it does not appear then you will need to repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
