Connecting to your Computer
To communicate with the data logger, connect the
gray interface cable to the SPAD meter’s RS-232
port. The port is located at the bottom of the meter
and is covered by a black cap. Open the software
and turn on the meter so it is in
Communication
mode (see Data Logger Operation, p. 7). In order to
communicate through your computer, the COM port
assigned to your serial port must be selected. For
most machines with a hard wired serial port, this will
be COM 1. If you are having trouble connecting, try
selecting another COM port or performing the Port
Test (pp. 4-5). The Com Port can be selected by
clicking the COM port toolbar button or by clicking
“Select Comm Port” from the File menu.

ger. The
