4.Fold the case halves back together. Attach the top case to the bottom case with the nine (9) screws and lockwashers. These are the stainless steel screws.

Enabling Modules

Perform the steps described below for installing Modules 2 through 14. You need to install each module from its separate diskette. Installation requires running a program on an IBM-compatible personal computer.

Note

You MUST install the modules that you have received in numerical order, starting with Module 2, or the lowest numbered module you have. Installing modules in numerical order will lead to a successful installation.

1.Use the medTester 5000C COM1 port.

2.Decide on a computer COM port—(COM1 through COM4).

3.Decide on a baud rate—(300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200).

4.To change the medTester baud rate from MAIN MENU 1:

A.Press F5 UTIL, then F1 BAUD;

B.Select the COM1 port;

C.Press F4 BAUD until the desired baud rate is displayed;

D.Press F5 STORE; Press Esc twice to return to MAIN MENU 1.

Note

If Module 2 (RS-232/Printer) has not yet been installed, the medTester baud rate is not selectable and can not be adjusted. It is permanently set to 9600. After you install Module 2, you can change the baud rate.

5.Connect the computer COM port to the medTester COM1 port (medTester to PC null modem serial cable).
