Manual:
Summary: In the Manual Mode the LabTec™ can be manually operated. The pump speed can be

Data Acquisition:
SUMMARY: Parker has available a software package called SciDoc that includes
data collection
software and a Custom Excel spreadsheet that is automatically populated when any
of the modes
are executed except Manual. It also has charts that are automatically populated as
the data is
generated. See Section 7.1 below.
Either the Printer Port or USB Port may be used for data collection. The instructions for
installing the USB driver appear at the beginning of this manual. The LabTec™ Printer Port is
required for use with a Parker thermal serial printer. By using both ports, the data
can be
simultaneously captured on a PC and a Printer.
When a PC is connected, all data generated in Weight Ratio, Volume and Weight Modes can be sent
to the PC for archiving. Please use the Parker SciDoc Data Collection Software
described below.
Alternatively, a PC running “HyperTerminal” or other terminal programs, may be
used to capture
the data. The HyperTerminal settings are provided for you in section 6.2 entitled
“PC
HyperTerminal Settings.” When interfacing with a PC you will need a separate RS-232 cable
(P/N:
080-073) or USB cable (P/N: 090-158).
The LabTec™ is also equipped with a USB port that can be connected to your PC. You will find the
driver for this connection on the thumb drive this manual came on. You will need to look in Device
Manager on your PC to determine the Com Port number assigned to the LabTec™.
The LabTec™ is also equipped with an Ethernet Port. Please note that it is for future development,
and not currently functional.
Note: When in Manual mode, the pump speed can be adjusted in terms of % motor speed while
the pump is running. Just press the “Amount” key, make the appropriate adjustment, and press
“Select”. There is no Data output in Manual Mode.
Note: For a successful connection with your PC, the LabTec™ and the PC must use the same
communications protocol. Make sure that the communication parameters in Setup: Printer are
the same as those listed in for HyperTerminal below or the default values.
