The following describes how to download data to a computer using Windows
HyperTerminal as the
communications program. If a different operating system and/or communications program is being used, then
consult the appropriate instruction manuals for those products.
1. Install serial data cable P/N 104-4027 (straight through, 6 foot, DB9 male to DB9 female) between the
computer’s COM port and the analyzer’s RS-232 connector. (For computers having a 25-pin COM port,
either use a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter, or use a serial cable with appropriate connectors on each end.)
2. At the computer, start HyperTerminal by doing one of the following:
• If HyperTerminal has already been set up to communicate with the Refrigerant Monitor, then click Start,
point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, click HyperTerminal, and double-click
the file name or icon that has been associated with the Refrigerant Monitor.
• If HyperTerminal has never been run in association with the Refrigerant Monitor, then a new
HyperTerminal connection needs to be made as follows:
a) Click Start; click Run. In the Run box type “hypertrm.exe” and click OK. The New Connection
dialog box should appear.
b) Type in a New Connection Name such as “C
2
N
2
”. Click OK to select the default icon (if desired,
select a different icon before clicking OK). The Connect To dialog box should appear.
c) Click the Connect using drop-down menu and choose the COM port to which the analyzer is
connected. Then click OK to display the COM Properties dialog box for that COM port.
d) Set Port Settings to:
- Bits per second:
19200
- Data bits:
8
- Parity:
None
- Stop bits:
1
- Flow control:
None
Then click OK to display HyperTerminal’s main window.
e) Click File; click Save. This creates a file with an .ht extension in the folder C:\Program
Files\Accessories\Hyper Terminal, using the name that was entered in Step b.
3. After HyperTerminal is running: click Transfer, click Capture Text, and then click Start to accept the default
drive\directory\filename to which all received data will be stored as an ASCII text file.
Note: By default, the captured text file will be stored on the hard drive at C:\Program
Files\Accessories\HyperTerminal\CAPTURE.TXT. If desired, click Browse to select a different drive,
directory and filename. The next time data is captured, it will be stored under the same location and
filename.
Tip: Changing the filename extension to “CSV” (comma separated variable) will allow the file to be directly
opened in the spreadsheet program. For example, double clicking the filename CAPTURE.CSV in Windows
Explorer will automatically start Microsoft Excel and load the file.
4. From the Data Display screen, press boththe Keypad Left and Right buttons at the same time to display
the first Function Menu screen. Next, use the Keypad buttons to move the arrow (>) until it points to PC-
DUMP, and then press the ENTER button to begin the download process.
