Log Data from Sprint LC
Sprint LC communicates with computers, terminals, and other peripherals
through a standard RS-232 port provided on the back of the Sprint LC
tester.
Typically, the RS-232 port is used to transfer test data from Sprint LC to a
computer. Data transferred to the computer is in tab delimited ASCII text
format. ASCII is a simple format that is commonly accepted by a wide
variety of spreadsheet and database application programs.
Software
A variety of third-party vendors sell communication programs (such as
Cross Talk and ProComm) that allow communication between Sprint LC
and a connected computer or terminal. Running HyperTerminal supplied
with Microsoft Windows is also an option.
Please read the instructions supplied with your computer and your
communications program.
Cables
Regardless of the software used to communicate with Sprint LC, a null-
modem cable is needed which should have the pinouts described on the
previous page.
Most serial cables have “straight through” connections and will require a
“Null Modem” adaptor. (Null Model cables can be purchased but are not
as common.) The cable and adaptor can be purchased at most local
electronics stores.
