Memory Download and Datalogging
Memory saved to the Spectrum Scout may be downloaded to a computer through the RS232 interface
jack located on top of the Spectrum Scout. All 1000 memories and 65,000 hits may be downloaded and
saved for later use. Real time datalogging is also possible through the RS232 jack. The connection to
the PC is direct using the Spectrum Scout serial cable (CBDS sold separately). The Spectrum Scout
download DOS software is included with the purchase of the CBDS.
1. Plug the RS232 cable into the RS232 jack located on top of the Spectrum Scout. The inter-
face cable has a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end and a DB9 connector on the other end. Plug
the end with the DB9 connector into an available com port on your computer. If your com-
puter only has a USB port then it may be necessary to obtain a serial to USB adapter.
2. Install the Utility Software Disk that came with the CBDS and enter the specscout.exe pro-
gram.
3.. Follow the instructions on the software for downloading and datalogging.
