˝ : Sometimes communication will not work if a switch has been added to

the serial port (RS-232C) or an extension cable has been added to the

communication cable.

˝ : Check to see if some other communication software is in use.

˝ : If your desktop computer has two serial ports, try connecting the

communication cable to the other port and try communicating again.

I can't get the communication cable connected to the computer.

What should I do?

˝ : 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.

If the connector on your computer is a D-SUB

pin male then there is no need for an

adapter.

If the connector on your computer is a D-SUB

pin female then use an adapter (D-SUB

pin male to a D-SUB

pin male).

If the connector on your computer is a Half pitch

pin female then use the adapter (Half

pitch

pin male to a D-SUB

pin male

) or a combination (Half pitch

pin male to D-SUB

pin male

) and (D-SUB

pin female to a D-SUB

pin male).

The date and the time of the recorded data are different from the

actual date and time. Why?

˝ : The Thermo Recorder has no internal clock. When you set up a

programmed recording start or when you download data, the date and

time that are shown are taken form your computer's clock. If your

computer's clock is not correct, it will affect the recorded data.
