4.11.2 Administrating user-defined programs with a terminal pro-
gram
Generally, a terminal program serves to establish a connection to a de-
vice on a data interface and to communicate with the device via a con-
sole on the display.
Thus, it is also possible to send command lines.
Terminal programs are available for different operating systems by dif-
ferent manufacturers. Windows (version 95 to XP) contains the "Hyper-
Terminal" terminal program. It is in the program menu under
Accessories.
For more detailed information please refer to the user information of the
terminal program.
On the CD-ROM there is a configuration file for the HyperTerminal pro-
gram. By double clicking the configuration file (*.ht) you open the Hy-
perTerminal program with the presettings required for data exchange
with the meter.
The pHotoFlex
®
STD can administrate the database of user-defined
programs via command lines.
