There are several commercially available software packages, which can read RS-232
data and enter the data into a computer program such as a word processor (to create a
text file) or spreadsheet (to tabulate and plot the data). Consult your laboratory
supply catalog regarding the latest software available.

The following describes how to use an IBM compatible computer with Hyper
Terminal™ software (included with Windows® 95, 98, 2000,XP operating
systems) to collect the RS-232 data from your Washer.

1.

Make certain that the Washer is properly connected to the communication port

on the computer and that the communication port is enabled on the computer.


2.

Open Hyper Terminal™ software.


i) Windows® 95 or 98 use:
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES

ii) Windows® 2000 or XP use:
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/COMMUNICATIONS

The first time Hyper Terminal™ is opened, a dialogue box requesting an area code and
phone number will appear. Enter the appropriate numbers and continue. This phone
number is required to proceed, but will never be dialed when the Washer is used.
