  3. Type any name (i.e. Hydrolab), select an icon, and then press OK.
  4. Select the correct communications port (COM1, COM2, etc), and press OK.

    The communications port properties opens.

  5. Set the properties to:

  9. Press OK from the ANSI drop-down.
  10. Connect the multiprobe to the designated port with the interface cable.

    Use a calibration cable (P/N 013470) or an external power adapter (P/N 013170).

    The multiprobe and the PC can automatically initiate communications. If so, the header and Main Menu is displayed followed by real-time data.

    If the multiprobe and the PC do not initiate communications automatically, select Disconnect from the HyperTerminal menu bar. The Disconnecticon is shown as a phone with a lifted receiver. After clicking Disconnect, the lower left corner of the HyperTerminal screen displays Disconnected.

  11. Select Call or Connect.

    The multiprobe connects and the header information displays followed by real-time data.

    Access is restricted to HL, Login, Setup, Calibrate, and Files. Access is determined by multiprobe defaults at start up.

    Note: Save the session when you exit HyperTerminal. This saves the assigned name, the assigned icon, and the communications port settings.
