Setting Up Serial Output - GE Sievers 900 Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

Check the value that is output to the multimeter. If the reading is not 4 mA ± 0.01 mA, go
7.
back to Step 6 and adjust the value. Repeat until the multimeter measures 4 mA ± 0.01 mA.
8. Press the Adjust button for the 20 mA value.
9. Press the Increase or Decrease button to change the value. Note that you can change the
rate at which the Analyzer applies the adjustment by changing the selection under the
Rate button.
10. Check the value that is output to the multimeter. If the reading is not 20 mA ± 0.01 mA, go
back to Step 8 and adjust the value. Repeat until the multimeter measures 20 mA ± 0.01
mA.
11. Disconnect the multimeter wires from TB3 and return the Analyzer to normal operation.

Setting Up Serial Output

To download data from the Analyzer directly to a computer, you must enable the Output option
and set the Baud Rate for the serial (RS-232) port.
1. Select the I/O tab.
2. Press the Serial button.
3. Press the Baud Rate button. Select 9600, 19200, or 38400 and press the Enter button to
save the value, or press Cancel to retain the current setting without making any changes.
Consult your computer manual to determine the maximum baud rate for your computer's
serial port. The default value is 9600.
To capture the data via the serial (RS-232) port, you will need a computer that is running a serial
port communications program, such as Hyperterminal. For information on setting up
Hyperterminal to communicate with the Analyzer, see "Using HyperTerminal" on page 228 in the
Appendix.
Note: For long distance connections (up to 1,000 feet or 305 meters) GE Analytical
Instruments recommends use of either a RS-232 current loop converter or a RS-422
converter. Companies such as B&B Electronics manufacture both kinds of converter.
