When the USB port is used to remotely control the 5730A Calibrator, either interactively
with a terminal or under computer control, operation is the same as with an RS-232
controller connected to the RS-232 port for control.
When USB remote operation is used, connect to the Calibrator with a virtual
communication port on the computer and a terminal program such as PuTTY or
HyperTerminal. When the USB remote control cable is disconnected, make sure to close
the terminal program on the computer. This properly terminates the virtual communication
port session in the computer. When the USB remote control cable is connected, open the
virtual communication port on the computer from within the terminal program.
