6-6 Interfacing
Upload the file from DOS by typing:
COPY filename COM1
This will copy the contents of the file to the serial port (use COM2 if that is
the one to which the LI-6262 is connected). You may need to reset the
communication parameters (Baud Rate, Parity, etc.) as well, using the DOS
MODE command.
Note that you can create a complete configuration file for your LI-6262 by
first capturing the data generated using remote command *19, and then
editing the file (if desired). When this file is sent back to the LI-6262, it will
configure all elements in its software.
Using an Apple Macintosh
Sending data to the Macintosh requires a Hayes compatible modem cable for
the Macintosh. Most Hayes modem cables terminate with a male 25-pin "D"
connector that will plug directly into the LI-6262. In the event that your
cable has the wrong gender, use a female-to-female gender changer with pin-
for-pin connections.
A number of data transfer software programs are commercially available.
The 1000-91 Communication Software is available free of charge from
LI-COR.
Using a Printer
The LI-6262 can communicate with virtually any printer having an RS-232C
interface. One example is the 6000-03B printer from LI-COR, which is an
Epson printer with an RS-232C interface installed. The LI-6262 is
connected to the 6000-03B printer using the 1000-04 RS-232C cable.
