The steps below describe how to connect to
the transmitter using the PuTTY terminal application for Windows and a USB computer
connection cable.
-
If you have not used the Vaisala USB cable before, install the driver before attempting
to use the cable.
-
Connect the USB cable between your computer and the transmitter's service port.
-
Start the PuTTY application.
-
Select and check that the correct COM port is selected in the Serial or
USB line to connect to field. If you are using the PuTTY terminal
application supplied by Vaisala, you can press the USB Finder
button to open the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program.
-
Check that the other serial settings are correct for your connection, and change if
necessary. Flow control should be set to
None unless you have a reason to change it.
-
Select Terminal. Use the following settings:
-
- Local Echo
- Select Force on. This setting ensures that
your typing is shown on the session window.
-
- Send line ends with line feeds
(CR+LF)
- Make sure this option is not selected. Enabling line end sending
with line feeds can cause issues with the terminal connection.
-
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 you an error message instead. If this
happens, restart PuTTY and check the settings. |
