The serial port is a 9-way female D-connector on the underside of the MicroVol
housing. A weatherproof cover is fitted to the connector to exclude dirt and moisture.
This cover should be removed only when a cable is connected to the port.
The serial port operates at 9600 baud, eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity. This
cannot be changed.
Data can be downloaded using the Windows-based Ecotech MicroVol Downloader
program supplied on the Utilities CD, or with the Ecotech WinCollect program.
Note: If using WinCollect, the MicroVol uses the same command protocol as a 9400
Data Logger, and WinCollect should be setup to communicate with a 9400.
The Serial port (RS-232C) is used for downloading data from the MicroVol. The
MicroVol port is a DB9 female connector on the underside of the sampler. This port
should be covered, using the cap supplied, when not in use, to keep out dust and
moisture. Connect a standard 9-pin serial cable to this port. Connect the other end of
the cable to your computer. If your computer has a 25 pin male serial port, you may
need to use a DB9 M / DB25 F adaptor or the appropriate 9-pin to 25-pin cable.
5.1 Using MicroVol Downloader software
The MicroVol Downloader software is supplied with the MicroVol on the Utilities
CD. The software may be installed on any PC type computer running Microsoft
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000. It will not run under Windows 3.x.
A laptop computer is a practical way of downloading the data from a HiVol that is in
service in the field. If your laptop does not contain a serial port then a U.S.B. – serial
adaptor should be used. It is highly recommended that the easysync U.S.B. – serial
adaptor be used for this function as it has been widely tested with all Ecotech
products, works effectively and can be purchased from Ecotech.
To install the software:
•
Close any programs that are running on the computer (visible in the
Windows task-bar)
•
Put CD in the computers CD rom drive

A window will appear called Software Utilities.
•
Click on the Install software button
