Using a Serial Cable
A serial cable may be used to transfer data between the meter and the workstation. Use the
built-in serial cable in the cradle to connect to a PC server, serial server/client, modem, or
the workstation’s serial port. Or, use the OneTouch
®
DataLink
®
serial cable for a direct
connection to the workstation.
1 Connect the serial cable (either the
OneTouch
®
DataLink
®
serial
cable or the cable in the cradle) to
the meter.
Messages appear on the screen
indicating the status of the transfer.
The meter beeps and a message
appears when data transfer is
complete.
2 Unplug the serial cable from the meter and press Cont.
If the meter has turned off, you can verify that the transfer was successful by turning
on the meter. If an error occurred during the transfer, the following message appears
after the status screen: Last Data Transfer mm/dd/yy hh:mm Failed. Additionally, the
status of the last upload appears at the status screen.
