Using of Hyperterminal in Windows.

Dear all,
I was told Hyperterminal could be powerful tool to test the serial communication.
But I have never used the hyperterminal.
If the connection of hyperterminal is successful, what am I expected the result in the hyperterminal?
During my trials, I can't see anything and write any RS-232 commands in hyperterminal.
Thank you in advance.

If you're using VISA Open, VISA Configure Serial Port, or VISA Write, you won't get an error message because these functions only depend on ther being a valid serial port on your pc. If you were to try a VISA Read with some non-zero number of expected bytes, then you will get an error.
To test the cable and com port, you can do a simple loopback. On the pc, you can connect tx to rx. In Hyperterminal, you should see echoed back whatever you type. If that works, connect tx to rx of the cable you built. You should see the same thing. Success with that, however, does not necessarily mean that the cable is correct for the instrument. It doesn't matter if you have continuity from pin 1 of the pc to pin x at the other end if it should be going to pin y.
I'm not sure what you mean be describe the screen of Hyperterminal. Every instrument is different. Some send back an acknowledgement when it recieves a valid command (usually after you hit the enter key). Some echo back an invalid command. Some return nothing but you can see a change on the instrument control panel. I would hope that this is all explained in the manual for the instrument. They should explain all of this or provide a utility program that you can use to test.
I'm trying to help but without the manufacturer's name/model number, manual, or the instrument, it's pretty hard. At this point, your best bet might be to contact the vendor. I wouldn't even mention LabVIEW. Just ask how to talk to the thing with Hyperterminal or some other terminal emulator program.

  • Can I use iCloud on two Windows 7 PC's? (same apple ID)

    Hi!
    I am a new user of Apple products and would like to use iCloud on two Windows PC's to upload Pictures and be able to see them on iPad. I manage to setup one computer and upload a few pictures for test and it worked, however when I setup computer number 2, nothing happens after I put the pictures on the required location to upload.
    Please let me know if this is feasible and if is not, what do I need to do to enable computer number 2 as the one to use and disable using computer 1 (the one working so far)
    Regards

    You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using your iCloud ID on your PC.

  • What format for my external drive allows use with Mac and Windows?

    I got an external hard disk (1 tr) and i want to used it for my windows and mac, i read i can have two partitions one for mac and one for windows, but i dont really want to have two parts, and I read i can format it by fat32 and i can write and read on both os, is that true?
    I want to use it for movies, os backups, and files..
    Is it true that i can only save files up to 4 GB when the format is fat32?
    please advise..

    It this case you would need to to go to "Disk Utility" on mac and select 3 partions which will be under the Parition Layout in my screen shot below. "Current" is grayed out that will drop down select 3 partitions and make one NTFS, second Mac OS Extended, third FAT32. Using the FAT32 for both Mac and Windows but the files have to be under 4GB each.

  • I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
    Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now.  In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want.  TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

  • HT6114 Can't save downloads to existing files??  In the "save as" box I use the little "search" window to locate where I want to put a new file but when found the location file does not operate.  And dropdown menu says "save to online acct"

    When I try to save an emailed-to-me document to an existing file on my hard drive by using the little "search" window the recipient file is inactive and does not open to recieve the document I want to save (nothing happens when I click on it and it's a subdued color).
    If I click through my files manually by starting on the desktop and working my way to the location of the recipient file I can save.
    This takes a lot of time and is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
    Please tell me I've just missed something obvious that can be fixed in a jiffy!?

    OMG!!  It also happens when I try to open a file from inside a program like Adobe Reader.  If I use the little corner search window all the files are inoperable.

  • How do I use my webcam in Windows 8?

    QuestionHow do I use my webcam in Windows 8?
    AnswerSkip this and contact a professional
    If you'd like to skip this guide and contact a professional, CLICK HERE.
    Just like how you can use your keyboard with many applications, there are many applications with which you can use your webcam.
    Camera app
    Most Windows 8 laptops come with the Camera app pre-installed. You’ll find it on the Start screen, or you can search for it by typing “Camera” at the Start screen. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the Store app.
    Do note that while I’m explaining how to use the Camera app, you can use other apps with your webcam as well. Run the Camera app. If this is the first time you’ve opened the Camera app, you’ll likely see a message asking if you’d like to allow the app to know your location. Select either Allow or Block depending on your personal preference.
    Recording
    You’ll see an image in the center with two buttons on the right. When the bottom button is pressed, it’ll save the image to the camera roll. Press the top button to begin recording a video. While a video is recording, a timer will be displayed in the image and the top button will change. Press it again to stop recording.
    Right-click anywhere in the camera app while viewing the camera to see additional buttons at the bottom, including timer and exposure buttons.
    Browsing the camera roll
    When you move the mouse on the screen, you’ll notice a button on the left that can be used to scroll through your camera roll. While viewing the camera roll, move your mouse to see a back button and forward button on the sides of the screen. If you move forward all the way, you’ll be back at the camera.
    You can right-click in the camera roll to see additional options there as well, including rotating and cropping.
    Photo and video storage
    Your photos and videos in your camera roll are stored in a folder named “Camera Roll” in the “Pictures” folder.
    To find this folder, hold the Windows key and press the ‘E’ key to open File Explorer, then select “Pictures” in “This PC.”
    Video
    In addition to this article, you can watch the following video for more information on using your webcam.

    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities

  • I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

    I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
    Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
    I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
    I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
    I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
    In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
    Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
    The 1st message is;
    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application  Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I  abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
    'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
    After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
    It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
    then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."

  • Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH?

    Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH without purchasing the latest suite or upgrades?  I origionally purchased a suite with Pagemaker, Photostyler and Freehand just before Aldus went Adobe, and Win3.1 went Win95, then WinME and WinXP.  I miss PM and have several manyscripts saved on PM4.0 and can not export or import them to any current wordprocessing programs.  I was very far into one manuscript and am now in a position to finish it up but don't want to have to purchase a whole suite in order to do so.  Any suggestions for this old tightwad?  [email protected]

    Shouldn't that be Win3.0  c.1991?  And with a very early of version ATM (Ver 2?)  if you want to do anything with fonts?
    I think I have a WinME PC in the garage, which if you can re-format with DOS 5 and install Win3 instead (I may have the disks in the garage too), PM4 will positively scream along.
    I reckon it's non starter on a modern WinXP PC, as the OS is so different, but if you're willing to experiment, you never know!
    But if you want to open some old files to extract the text, you can open the PM4 files and save them with a d/l'ed trial copy of PM7, which will be OK on WinXP

  • How can i use shoutcast streams on windows phone?

    I have an idea to make an application but i don't know how to use shoutcast streams in windows phone ? Is there any API or something that i need to fallow?
    Alican

    At the moment Shoutcast audio streams are not supported natively in Windows Phone. You will need to write a self implementation of IMediaStreamSource to parse the audiostream and also handle the http connections to the streaming server.
    Another solution is to use a third party implementation such as www.jupitersdk.com.
    It offers a well documented API, is easy to integrate and use into your project and there is a trial version for testing purposes.
    Jupiter Sdk has successfully been used in several RadioStreaming apps which can be found in the Windows Phone Store. By the way, it allows not only to play Shoutcast and Icecast audiostreams in Windows Phone 8.1, but also to retrieve the stream metadata (i.e.
    current Title and Artist), among other interesting features.

    Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

  • How do I fix redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

    I get redirected and/or pop ups while using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. It began immediately with the downloading of said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with that download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-boot scan with Avast, plus a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I still get redirects and/or pop ups.
    It is an intelligent redirect (context sensitive), but tries to get money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, perhaps] with the pop up blocker likely built into Firefox, but Firefox Help led me instead to an 800 # that offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with Certified Techs as you will see in the chat below. It appeared to be a function of Firefox, not a redirect.
    Just after the chat with the 800 outfit I opened FireFox and it went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a string of more hash, which is possibly how the popups get propagated?
    I went to mozilla via url and soon got encouraged to download new version, saying current one out of date. But it was going to download from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/
    So it is not only very intelligent, it is also resistant to a lot of software removal tools.
    What might you suggest? I have not tried many of those tools yet.

    MySearchDial should have an entry in the Windows Control Panel, but possibly also have its hooks into all your browsers.
    Checking and cleaning that will take a few steps. I suggest starting here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Are you able to rid yourself of it?

  • I am a new Mac user.  How do I easily move files to new locations and folders in Finder, like I was used to doing with Windows Explorer?

    I am a new Mac user, converting from the Windows world.  How do I easily transfer files from one folder location to another in Finder, like I was used to doing in Windows Explorer?

    You can expand Finder into multi-panes, I am not at my Mac right now to get the exact key strokes so don't want to mislead you.  Do so many things on auto-pilot that when someone asks I need the machine so I can get the exact things to click on.
    But you can get the multi-pane view and drag and drop from pane to pane.
