D.1 CONFIGURING THE HyperTerminal
®
PROGRAM
To ensure that the PC is able to communicate to the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo
Board, the HyperTerminal program must be properly configured. This section describes
the configuration that the HyperTerminal program should be in.
The screenshots shown in Figure D-1 through Figure D-6 show the settings of the
HyperTerminal program in the Windows
®
operating system.
You should save each configuration of the HyperTerminal program in order to easily
distinguish which HyperTerminal program window is “talking” with which PICDEM™
HPC Explorer Board.
After opening the HyperTerminal program window, select Call -> Disconnect. In the
lower-left corner, the HyperTerminal program window will indicate “Disconnected”.
Next, in the HyperTerminal program window, select File -> Properties. The window in
Figure D-2 is shown. Ensure that the appropriate COM port is selected for both the
“Golden” unit and the “Testing” unit. Then select the Configure button.
