8.- AR5/AR5-L COMMUNICATIONS


To connection to PC of the AR5/AR5-L must be done through the power supplier set,
which will be necessary connected to the main. Perform the connection using
the two wires factory-delivered with the AR5/AR5-L.
One cable will link the AR5/AR5-L to the power supplier set, and another cable is a
standard RS232 connector.
When starting communication tasks take into account:

Communication parameters of the AR5/AR5-L and the PC must fully coincide.

The power supplier set must be plugged into.

The AR5/AR5-L cannot be into the setup menu.

CIRCUTOR has a software package that permits the user to retrieve stored data in
the AR5/AR5-L to PC for a further complete analysis. The download archive is
in text format, that allow to be opened and edited.
