Data Terminal

of important parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.
You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer
and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VideoJet X40 (see Section 8.7.1 Pin

HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used
as the terminal program.
