12.5 PC Serial Connection Instructions

1. Connect RS232 9-pin serial cable from SmartSpec 3000 to computer.
2. Using a terminal program (e.g. HyperTerminal), set the connection to 9600 baud, 8 bits-
no-parity-1 stop bit (9600-8-N-1), no flow control.
3. In addition to the actual data transmission/reception parameters, other parameters in
HyperTerminal may have to be set. The correct settings may vary from computer to
computer, but these are settings currently used and offered as an example. It may not be
necessary to implement all parameters. Only the Connect Direct to Com Port is essential.
