The Micro-KIM has the same TTY current loop interface as the KIM-1. The difference is that the RS232
conversion circuit was also included so you could attach a terminal or PC with Hyper Terminal to the Micro-
KIM for a display interface. It is possible to attach the Micro-KIM to a Mac but since there are many terminal
programs out there, we are just going to focus on a standard PC using Windows XP.
The first step is to run Hyper Terminal and set up a terminal port. We will use the slower 1200 baud rate to
ensure that the system works correctly. Later you can change the baud rate to a higher level and find the highest
value that works with your system.
First, on your PC, click on START, All Programs, Accessories, and Communications and select Hyper
Terminal. A new connection window for Hyper Terminal will come up like this:

Now you can type in a name for your connection such as, KIM, or Micro-KIM and click on OK. Next, it may
ask for an area code if this is the first time you are using Hyper Terminal. Simply type in your Area code, and
click on OK.
