5.2 Connect MiniRAE 2000 to PC
The basic kit of the MiniRAE 2000 is supplied with a
serial interface cable. Connect the DB-9 connector side of
the cable to the serial port of the PC, and connect another
side of the cable to the MiniRAE 2000 monitor.
Turn on the power to the MiniRAE 2000 monitor. Press
the [MODE] key several times until the LCD shows “PC
comm?” Press the [Y/+] key and the display shows
“Pause monitor, OK?” Press [Y/+] to confirm and the
display shows “Comm....” to indicate that the MiniRAE
2000 monitor is ready and waiting for communication
with the PC. During the communication session, the PC
will directly control the MiniRAE 2000 monitor through
the serial link. There is no need to press any key on the
MiniRAE 2000 monitor during the communication
session.
If no data transfer has occurred within two minutes, the
MiniRAE 2000 monitor will return to instantaneous
reading display.
Note: Do not connect to the parallel port of the PC by
mistake. The parallel port is usually a 25 pin female D
connector on the back of the PC, the serial port is usually
a 25 or 9 pin male D connector. If the serial port on the
PC is a 25-pin connector, the user needs to use a 25 pin to
9-pin adapter in order to accept the serial cable.
