*When the temperature is set to "no", the heat time is
defaulted to "0.00" while executing the run.
Note: The preset programs are for convenience
only. Prior to use, users are advised to conduct a
risk assessment to confirm that the preset
program parameters meet the user's application
specific needs and conditions. Users accept the
risks associated with using the preset programs.

Exporting Live Run Data

The unit is equipped with a USB port to enable
communication with an external computer. The USB port is
located on the rear panel of the unit and is connected to a
computer via a standard USB type A to B cable.

CAUTION: USB lead length less than 3 meters
shall be used to connect to the computer.
When a run is ongoing, the unit exports the following
information via the USB port every minute.
• The live temperature applied to the samples chamber
• The remaining heat time for the run ("CCC" indicates
continuous heating)
• The remaining or elapsed run time, depending on the run
type (manual or automatic)
• The vacuum pressure in the samples chamber
The data are sent at a fixed baud rate of 115200 and are
comma-separated as shown in the format: <temperature>,
<heat time>, <run time>, <vacuum pressure>
• The temperature is represented as a 2-digit integer in °C
• The heat time is expressed as a 3-digit integer in minutes
(or "CCC" for continuous heating)
• The runtime is expressed as a 3-digit integer in minutes
• The vacuum pressure is represented as a floating-point
number in Torr (or as "HPr" to represent a high pressure).
In case of a communication failure between the
monitoring program of the computer and the
product, user can re-establish the connection by
disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.
Note: The following section details the step-by-step
procedures for configuring Microsoft
on a host computer using Windows
may need to be modified to be used with a different terminal
emulator program and/or operating system. Contact
Technical Services if further assistance is required.
HyperTerminal
Configuration
1. Power up the host computer and close any running
applications.
2. Open the HyperTerminal application by clicking on Start \
"Programs" \ "Accessories" \"Communications" \
"HyperTerminal."
3. In the "Connection Description" box, enter the name
"SPD140DDA" and choose an icon and click OK.
4. Connect to the virtual COM port that is linked with the
SpeedVac™ concentrator attached to the computer
(USB virtual com port).
