clicking the file name or via the menu
"FILE", menu item "Execute" and
"Search".
4) After starting the installation, the direc-
tory is requested into which the soft-
ware is to be copied. "C:\THERMO" is

7.2 Setting up a connection to the

computer

1) Connect the plug marked "IR2" of the

"RS232" (1) of the thermometer
(marking upwards). Connect the
other plug to the jack of the RS-232
interface of the computer.
2) Start the software on the computer by
double-clicking the symbol "THER-
MO.EXE" in the window "THERMO".
The menu "THERMO" shown in fig. 2
(page 3) appears on the screen. (The
sign "WORKING" is not displayed yet
at that time.)
3) Switch on the thermometer with the
button (3).
4) Click the "START" button in the
®
menu. The measuring program is
activated and both the date (month/
day/year) and the time are updated
in the menu. Above the "START" but-
ton, a blinking "WORKING" is dis-
played. The automatic cutoff of the
thermometer is deactivated.
5) If "RS-232 ERR" above the "START"
button blinks or if the time is not up-
dated in the menu, there is no con-
nection to the computer. By clicking
the arrows below the field "COM
PORT", the port number can be cor-
rected (COM1 – COM4). Other pos-
sible sources of errors:
— adapter plugs do not fit correctly
— wrong jack on the computer has
been used
— thermometer was switched off in
the meantime or is still switched off
After switching on, first click the
button "STOP" and then "START"
again in the menu!
