MMX-6 DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

RS232 Serial Port & The Data Logger

The MMX-6 DL is equipped with an RS232 serial port. Using the accessory cable (part# N-306-0010), the MMX-6 DL has the ability to connect to a computer, or external storage device. The following section outlines the procedure for connecting the MMX-6 DL to a computer, and how to collect data using any standard communications program:

Connecting To a Computer

1)Connect the accessory cable (part# N-306-0010) to the 2 pin jack located on the bottom of the MMX-6 DL, and the 9 pin connector to a serial port on the computer.

2)Start the communications software that will be used to collect the measurements (i.e. Microsoft Windows 3.1 -Terminal, or 95, 98,Me, XP - HyperTerminal).

3)Setup the communications software using the following parameters: Data Bits - 8, Parity - None, Stop Bits - 1, Baud Rate 1200 (to print a report), or 9600 to transfer data file.

ƒNote: A report can be printed to a communications program (i.e. HyperTerminal), or printed to a serial printer using 8.5" x 11" paper.

4)Set the communications software COMM port to the port number that the MMX-6 DL is connected - direct comm1, comm 2, etc.

5)Proceed to the section USING THE DATA LOGGER.
