11.2 Downloading Auto Logged Data
The 1529 “Chub-E4” Thermometer Readout stores up to 8,160 autolog read-
ings or 100 demand log readings in its memory. These readings can be down-
loaded to a computer using the RS-232 serial port.
The following steps should be followed to download logged data using the se-
rial port:
1. Connect the 1529 to a COM port on the computer using the serial cable.
2. Run a terminal program such as Windows® Terminal or HyperTerminal®.
a) Set up the terminal program to use the correct COM port and baud rate. Con-
figure the communication settings to use 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no
flow control.
