6.3 PC HyperTerminal Settings:
LabTec™ to PC: For PC Connections via the Printer Port a Parker RS-232 Cable (P/N: 080-073) is
needed. When not using the Parker printer, this allows process
data to be “dumped” into a PC for
archiving. The list of settings below must match those in
Setup: Printer of the LabTec™, and Print Delay should be set to “0”. Alternatively, the USB port may
be used. The driver for the USB connection is on the thumb drive this manual is on, and may be
obtained from Parker Technical Support. The following terminal setting procedure is intended for
PCs with a Window 98/XP software installation: Press the START button in the lower
left corner of
your screen, select “Programs” then select and open “Accessories”, select
“Hyper Terminal”.
(If using Windows 7 or 8, HyperTerminal may be purchased on line, or any other terminal
program may be used.)
From the “Connection Description” screen, select an icon and enter a file name, i.e. LabTec™.
Press “OK”
From the “Connect To” screen, select “Direct to Com 1” in the box labeled “Connect Using” or the
Com Port assigned to the LabTec

Press “OK”
Press “OK” at the bottom of the “LabTec
