If you are not using Hanna Instruments
HI 92000 application software, please find
here below some additional information to
help your connection to the PC.
SETTING THE BAUD RATE AND THE COM-
MAND PREFIX
See program # 1.
CHANGING THE COMMAND PREFIX
Sometimes it is necessary to change the
command prefix. If your computer already
uses the DLE character for control pur-
poses, sending it to the conductivity meter
can be difficult or cause your computer to
behave erratically.
To avoid this problem, you can change the
command prefix to almost every ASCII char-
acter (0 - 127 decimal).
To change the command prefix, refer to
PGM 2 operation.
The carriage return is the only character
that cannot be used as a command prefix.
Good choices for command prefix are ESC
(ASCII code 27), SO (ASCII code 15), or
any printing character you will not use for
other purposes; e.g. the C symbol (ASCII
code 64).
SENDING COMMANDS FROM PC
With terminal programs such as, for ex-
ample, Telix
®
, Windows Terminal
®
,
HyperTerminal
®
, it is possible to remotely
control your HI 9032. Use HI 920010 cable
to connect the meter to the PC, start the
terminal program and set the communica-
tion options as follows: 8, N, 1, no flow
control.
