Troubleshooting
Q: I can’t get the communication cable connected to the computer.
What should I do?
A: Please connect the communication cable provided with the Thermo
Recorder into the serial port of your computer (D-SUB 9 pin male
connector). If for some reason you cannot connect directly, please use
an appropriate adapter (gender changer plug) as explained below.
Q: I can’t download settings and/or data from the Thermo Recorder
to my computer. What should I do?
A: Check to make sure that the power of the main unit is ON.
A: Check to make sure that the connection is proper. Communication
will take place only through the serial port (RS-232C) and will not
work through the printer port or any other port.
A: Check to make sure that you can control the Thermo Recorder via
the software.
A: Make sure that the serial port has been selected correctly in the
[Communication] pull down menu in the software. Please check
which port you are connected to (COM1-COM8) and select
appropriately.
A: If you have access to another computer, try to see if you can download
using it.
〔How to check〕
①In Windows 98, Open the [System] le in the [Control Panel] (Figure 1).
《Figure 1 Control Panel》
74
A: If you have a computer with energy saving function settings, make
sure that the serial port has not been turned off. Especially on NEC
brand PC98 notebook computers the default setting maybe such.
A: If your computer is a DOS/V type, check to make sure that the serial
port has not been rendered unusable by the BIOS setting.
A: If your computer is Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP please make sure
that the serial port setting has not been made to render it unusable.
With many all-in-one computers it serves as the modem jack.
②Open the [Device Manager] le in the [System Properties] window and
double click on [Port (COM&LPT)] (Figure2) to open. Check to see if
[Com Port (COM1)] and/or [Com Port (COM2)] are displayed. If so,
they should be usable unless they have a [!] or a [×] (Figure3) mark
on them. If such a mark exists, this port is unusable. If you cannot use
a communication port please contact your computer’s maker.
《Figure 3 [Port (COM&LPT)]
