Connecting To a Computer

1)Connect the accessory cable (part# N-306-0010) to the 2 pin jack located on the bottom of the MX-5, 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 Windowsä 3.1 -Terminal, or 95 - HyperTerminal).

3)Setup the communications software using the following parameters: Data Bits - 8, Parity - None, Stop Bits - 1, Baud Rate 1200.

4)Set the communications software COMM port to the port number that the M X-5is connected.

5)After taking a measurement, press the SEND key to send the measurement to the computer. The measurement will be displayed on the computer screen.

NOTE: Communications software packages generally have the ability to capture the screen data to a common text file. This text file, containing the measurements, can then be imported into any common spreadsheet program (i.e. Excel, Quattro Pro, Lotus123) for further reporting requirements.
