HyperTerminal is a serial communication program provided in the Windows 98SE/ME/2000 and XP operating systems. You can use HyperTerminal to communicate with any balance equipped with an RS-232 serial interface or USB. HyperTerminal will receive the data output from the balance and display the information on the monitor screen of HyperTerminal program.

To setup HyperTerminal to communicate with a Sartorius Balance using the USB to Serial Adapter kit for Sartorius Balances (our part # SARUSB) follow the steps below.

HyperTerminal will help you create a clickable icon. A series of screens will appear when Hypertrm.exe is clicked allowing you to configure settings.

Step 1 You start HyperTerminal by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to Communications, and the click HyperTerminal.
		[ Click for pop-up window showing close-up view ]

Step 2 After a few moments the Connection description window will appear. Enter a valid name, such as "Sartorius", into the Name: field, the Icon: field can remain at default. Click OK when finished.
		[ Click for pop-up window showing close-up view ]

Step 3 The next screen is the Connect To window. Enter the COM port number you are using into the Connect using : field. The bottom pull down allows you select from Direct to Com1, Direct to Com2, Direct to Com3 or Direct to Com4. The most common selections are Direct to Com3, or Direct to Com4. The Country Code: , Area code: and Phone Number: fields can remain at default. Click OK when finished. Note: The most common problem resulting in data not transferring to HyperTerminal is selecting the wrong Com Port. If Com3 does not work then try Com4
		[ Click for pop-up window showing close-up view ]

Step 4 The next screen is the Properties window. Enter the baud rate into the Bits per second: field. The top pull down typically allows you to select from the available bit rates. The Sartorius default format is 1200. The data bits: Odd, Stop bits: 1, and Flow control: None. Click OK when finished. Note: If the Baud rate, Data bits, Parity or Stop bits are not set correctly then HyperTerminal will not work. Be careful and select the correct setting.

Step 5 In the following HyperTerminal window click on Files then on Properties then on Settings then on ASCII setup. Put a check mark in the box marked Append line feeds to incoming line ends. Click OK when finished and then Click OK again so you are back in the HyperTerminal window. The Close the HyperTerminal window and say Yes to disconnect now and Yes to Save HyperTerminal session when prompted to Sartorius balance. Now you're ready to use HyperTerminal. Start your data acquisition by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to Communications, clicking HyperTerminal, and then clicking on the Sartorius balance icon in our example. Connect the Sartorius Balance to your PC's USB Port with our USB to Serial Adapter cable (our part # SARUSB) and then apply power to the balance. Press the "Print" key on the Sartorius balance and weight shown on the display of the balance also shows in the HyperTerminal screen.
