5... HYPERCOMM™ S ERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

OVERVIEW

Upon launching HyperWare, the HYPERCOMM window (Figure 5... -1) will appear with graphic images of a PC with a connected PCMCIA card drive (optional) and a logger. From within this window, communications between the PC and the logger as well as communications between the PC and the PCMCIA card drive are initiated and handled.

In serial communication between the logger and the PC, both RS-232 and telephone modem communications are supported. A simple dialog box is provided for the communication link setup, thereafter all communications are handled by dragging icons (representing information) between the graphic PC and logger.

The external PCMCIA card drive is an optional system item. Data and Program Net information is transferred between the PC and the PCMCIA card drive by simply dragging and dropping the appropriate icons overlaying the PC and the drive. Chapter 6 contains details on the setup and use of the PCMCIA card feature.

Communications between the PC and a connected logger are required for a multitude of functions including download of logger collected data, programming of the logger, and real-time data display.

From the HyperComm window, access to the HYPERNET, HYPERTRACK, and POST- PROCESSING windows is achieved by clicking on one of the three buttons on the Button Toolbar.
