3. On the PC, run a terminal-emulator program such as the
Microsoft Windows Terminal. Make sure the PC serial port is set
as follows:

4. Turn on the oscilloscope.
5. Connect the oscilloscope probe to the channel 1 input connector.

The PROBE COMP signal is a square wave with a frequency
of ≈1 kHz and a peak voltage of ≈5 V. The following figure
shows how to hook up the probe to the oscilloscope.
