1.Power on the Temperature Recorder first and connect
it to a PC RS-232 serial port wit the cable,
2.Run the Software.
3.If the connection is successful the LCD simulation will
20
Temperature Recorder
display the same value as the Temperature Recorder.
If fail to connect the meter with PC, it will display "No
Connection" on the LCD simulation window .
4.When the connection is successful, select Real Time
Data | Run from main menu or click from tool bar,
there will be a dialog for you to select record interval
