LED Display–Upon startup, this display shows the version of the software the SI-TCM2
is running. During normal operations, this display shows the temperature of the cuvette
attached to the channel 1 port, channel 2 port or both. During confi guration, this display
shows parameters and confi rmation messages.
USB Port–This port can be used to connect to a computer to log the temperature history.
In order to communicate with the computer, a terminal emulation program is required.
Several third party options are available, including: Hyperterminal, Real Term (realterm.
