The following steps describe how to connect to digital probes using the PuTTY terminal application for Windows (available for download at www.vaisala.com/software) and the USB serial interface.

If you have an analog probe, you can still connect to the serial line by following the instructions in Accessing serial line command interface from analog or Modbus mode.

  1. Connect Vaisala USB cable 219690 between your PC and the probe.
  2. Start the PuTTY application.
  3. Select the Serial settings category, and check that the correct COM port is selected in the Serial line to connect to field.

    To check which port the USB cable is using, select Start > Vaisala > Vaisala USB Instrument Finder.

  4. Check that the other serial settings are correct for your connection, and change if necessary.
  5. To open the connection window and start using the serial line, select Open.

    If PuTTY is unable to open the serial port you selected, it shows an error message instead. If this happens, restart PuTTY and check the settings.

  6. You may need to adjust the Local echo setting in the Terminal category to see what you are typing on the serial line. To access the configuration screen while a session is running, right-click over the session window, and select Change Settings.

If the probe is in Modbus mode, to access the serial port command interface, follow the instructions in Accessing serial line command interface from analog or Modbus mode.
