Connecting To a Computer
1) Connect the accessory cable (part# N-306-0010) to the 2 pin jack
located on the bottom of the MX-5, and the 9 pin connector to a
serial port on the computer.
2) Start the communications software that will be used to collect the
measurements (i.e. Microsoft Windows

3.1 -Terminal, or 95 -
HyperTerminal).
3) Setup the communications software using the following
parameters: Data Bits - 8, Parity - None, Stop Bits - 1, Baud
Rate 1200.
4) Set the communications software COMM port to the port number
that the M X-5 is connected.
5) After taking a measurement, press the SEND key to send the
measurement to the computer. The measurement will be displayed
on the computer screen.
NOTE: Communications software packages generally have the ability
to capture the screen data to a common text file. This text file,
containing the measurements, can then be imported into any
common spreadsheet program (i.e. Excel, Quattro Pro, Lotus123)
for further reporting requirements.
