Model 2200 Scaler Ratemeter
Ludlum Measurements, Inc. Page 14 March 2016
Data Output
General
The Model 2200 RS-232 serial port can be connected to a computer or printer
for data-logging of the scaler count information. Windows
TM
-based software and
cable are supplied with the instrument. The computer software can control the
count time, start and stop counting, time/data stamp data, and print or save
data. An optional printer may also be purchased to print each scaler reading.
The two-pole dipswitch on the rear chassis underneath the calibration cover
controls the RS-232 data. The top switch, labeled “PC” and “PRNTR,” controls
the type of data. In PC mode, data is bi-directional, allowing the computer to
start/stop counting. In the PC mode, the count time can also be changed by the
computer, but only if the count time push-wheels are set to 000. In the PRNTR
mode, the scaler count is output at the end of each count only. The bottom
dipswitch, marked “RECYCLE” and “OFF,” allows counting to recycle instead
of requiring a manual push of the COUNT button for each cycle. This mode is
useful with the optional printer for taking many separate counts.
Software
Prior to Installation of Software:
Ensure both the computer and the Model 2200 are turned off.
Connect one end of the supplied RS-232 cable to the Model 2200 and connect
the other end of the cable to any unused serial port on the back of the
computer. (This unused port should be labeled COM1, COM2, COM3, or
COM4.)
To Install Software:
1. Insert LMI Model 2200 software CD into the CDROM drive. Setup will
automatically start. If it does not, double-click on the “setup.exe” file located
on the CD.
2. The program will be installed to “C:\Program Files\m2200.” An icon in the
start menu is created under Start/Programs/Ludlum Measurements,
Inc./Model 2200.
