Chapter 8 Ports Configuration

8.1 Possible communication problems

? Be sure the cable is connected t o t he calibrator properly, and t o your PC's serial port as well. Consult your calibrator 's documentation for the correct method of connect ion. ? Programs that use a serial port to connect to other exter nal devices, such as Palm Pilots, should be shut down when usin g this program with that same serial port. The comput er needs to recognize that the COM por t is free, and can be used for communication with the cali brator device.

8.2 Procedures

To communicate with the calibrator, you need to configure the port settings by clicking the “SerialPort” box of the Setting Menu on the of the HOME SCREEN.The SerialPort Screen will be shown(see fi gure 8.2 below ). After completing that, you could manually build the connection by clicking the
