If you don’t have an ASCII programming terminal, you can use your
computer with a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. The
following example shows HyperTerminal, other terminal programs will be
similar.

5. Locate the HyperTerminal or other program on your computer. Often

the terminal emulation programs can be found on the Start>Accessories
menu.

6. Setup the terminal emulation program. You will need to specify the

port connected to the DL5 Slave and specify a baud rate, parity (none),
data bits (8) and stop bits (1). Make sure the baud rate is set to match
the DL5 Slave. If you are not sure of the DL5 slave baud rate, cycle the
power. The communication settings are displayed in the startup
sequence. To use HyperTerminal, go to the File menu and click on New
Connection.
