There are several commercially available software packages, which can read RS232 data
and enter the data into a computer program such as a word processor (to create a text
file) or spreadsheet (to tabulate and plot the data). Consult your laboratory supply
dealer regarding the latest software available.
The following describes how to use an IBM compatible computer with Hyper Terminal™
software (included with Windows® 95, 98, XP or 2000 operating systems) to collect the
RS232 data from your Axiom:
* Note – Starting with Windows Vista Microsoft no longer includes HyperTerminal with
Windows.
