Figure 8-2 Connecting the Magna-Mike 8600 to a computer
The first time that you connect the Magna-Mike 8600 to this computer, the
computer prompts you that a new hardware device has been detected and asks if
you would like to install the driver.
The driver loads, and then you can start to use a program such as WINXL to
communicate with the Magna-Mike 8600.
If you experience problem to establish the communication between the Magna-
Mike 8600 and a remote device, consider using the Magna-Mike 8600 communication
reset function to return all communication parameters to the default values (see
“Resetting the Communication Parameters” on page 148), and then reconfigure only
needed communication parameters.
8.3 Setting Up RS-232 Serial Communication
The Magna-Mike 8600 can transmit stored data and displayed readings over its
input/output (I/O) RS-232 cable to other devices with a RS-232 serial interface. The
Magna-Mike 8600 can also receive and execute commands sent from other devices
with a serial interface, such as personal computers. A remote command document is
available upon request.
