3.3 System Data Retrieval
The Affinity System provides the Service Engineer with the capability to download/upload
calibration data and the Alert Codes Log to a laptop computer with a Terminal Emulation
Program (such as HyperTerm). This allows the Service Engineer to print or append this data
as needed.
In order download this information, a Null-Modem, 9 pin to 25 pin Adapter, approximately
6 feet, is required (Tandy Radio Shack Catalog #950-0188, or equivalent).
1. Connect the laptop computer to the Affinity System using the Null-Modem Cable as
shown in Figure 5-1.
