Step 2 – Check Hardware
1. Verify that the voltage stated on the sticker [near the power switch] matches the voltage
of your intended AC power supply. If you need to change the voltage, refer to your
user’s manual.
2. Check the DIP switch, located on the rear panel. Your user’s manual discusses setting
options.
Step 3 - Connect to the Host PC
Prior to making a serial connection, make sure that the host PC’s serial
(COM) port is available and properly configured to match the DIP
switch setting in Step 2. Do this by navigating from the Windows
Desktop, i. e., Control Panel System Device Manager tab, then
clicking on Ports (COM & LPT).
Using a serial communications cable, connect the TempScan [or MultiScan] to the host
PC by one (and only one) of the following methods:
USB Requires an adapter kit. To connect the TempScan [or MultiScan] to a USB port you will need a RS-232 to
USB Interface Adapter Kit p/n CA-232-USB-KIT (available from MCC). Refer to the associated Quick Start
document (QS RS-232_to_USB_Interface.pdf) for a list of the kit’s contents and for RS-232 to USB conversion
instructions. The pdf is included on your Data Acquisition CD (rev 8.1.2 and higher).
Use only
one of
these 3
connection
options.
RS-232
Requires a DB9F to DB9F serial communication cable. Connect the cable from the TempScan [or MultiScan]
Serial Port to a RS-232 Serial Port on the host PC.
RS-422
Requires a DB9F to DB25F serial communication cable. Connect the DB9F to the TempScan [or MultiScan]
Serial Port. Connect the DB25F to an RS-422 Serial Port on the host PC.
Note 1:
Measurement Computing offers a CA-47 three-connector serial communications cable. The single cable has two DB9F connectors
and one DB25F connector. Note that the CA-232-USB-KIT includes a CA-47 cable.
