CONNECTING THE M2000 TO HYPER TERMINAL
Hyper Terminal is a terminal utility program that is supplied with all versions of
Windows. The program is useful for:
• Viewing the M2000’s String Output.
• Saving calibration data to a PC file.
• Loading calibration data from a PC.
• Saving tickets macros to a file on a PC.
• Loading ticket macros from a file on a PC.

CONNECTING THE M2000 TO THE PC COMPUTER
• Determine which COM port you are connecting to on the back of the
computer. This will most likely be COM1 or COM2.
• A serial cable is required to connect the PC to the M2000. Determine
whether your computer’s COM port has a 9 PIN or 25 Pin Terminal.
• See the Connections Table at the start of the Serial Communications
Section (Page XXX) for Pin-outs.
STARTING HYPER TERMINAL
Hyper Terminal can be started and setup manually, or with the help of the M2000
Hyper Terminal Set-Up Files.
RUNNING THE HYPER TERMINAL SET-UP FILE
To make things easier, using a Set-Up file is recommended. Western Scale has
supplied Set-up files that will automatically start Hyper Terminal with the correct
settings.
Set-Up files can be downloaded from the website at www.westernscale.ca.
Contact your sales rep if you want the files sent via email or floppy disk.
The files to download are “M2000COM1.ht” if you are using COM1 on your PC
computer or “M2000COM2.ht” if you are using COM2.
Copy these files to your computer hard drive. Double clicking the file will
automatically start Hyper Terminal with the all the correct settings in place for the
COM port you are using.
