MMT310 measurement data can be accessed with the following serial or
analog options:
- RS-232 serial port connection to a computer
- Analog output (current or voltage)
For temporary access, you can also connect to the transmitter with the
following:
- USB connection to a computer using an optional USB cable (238607)
- Connection to a hand-held MI70 indicator using an optional MI70
calibration cable (DRW216050SP)
When using the MMT310 with a serial connection (RS-232 serial cable
or USB), you need a terminal program to operate the MMT310 command
line interface. For instructions on installing and using the PuTTY
terminal application for Windows (available from
http://www.vaisala.com/software), see section Terminal Program
Settings on page 35.
For information on using the analog outputs, see section Setting, Scaling
and Testing the Analog Outputs on page 44.
