From windows

1). Click on programs

2). Click on Accessories

3). Select hyper terminal if available. If it does not appear on the list of accessory programs, then go to How to install Hyper terminal.

1) In hyper terminal create a "new connection" this can be done by clicking the Hypertrm.exe icon or via the menu within HyperTerminal "File:NewConnection".

2) Type in a name for the connection (for example, cyq504).

3) Under "connect using" select "Direct to Com 2" if your available com port is com 2 otherwise select the appropriate com port. (Modems are relentlessly selfish about interrupts. So if a modem is present then avoid the modem port and it's cousin. That is, if the modem is on com 1 then avoid both com 1 and 3. Com 1 and 3 share an interrupt while com 2 and 4 share a different interrupt; in this case avoid 2 and 4)

4) Set "Bits per second" to 9600.

5) Set "Data Bits" to 8.

6) Set "Stop Bits" to 1.

7) Set "Flow control" to None.

8) Click OK - the hyper terminal screen should appear.

9). Select properties from the menu bar.

10) Click on "settings", use default: autodetect and back scroll 500 lines.

11) For "ASCII setup" use

a). Sending - check: "echo typed characters locally" box. This lets you see the commands you type in.

b). Receiving - check: "append line feeds" and "wrap long lines". The CyQ module emits a carriage return (CR), but no line feed. This keeps data from being overwritten on the screen.

11) Under "File" menu select "Save As" and save the configuration file to a convenient folder.

You can create a shortcut to the configuration file and put it on the desktop, this makes life a bit simpler. The configuration files have a naming convention of *.ht where star is the name you chose when setting up the new connection. For example, "cyq504.ht".
 

Data will appear on the screen in hyper terminal as it is received. The transfer button on the hyper terminal menu bar will allow you to save the displayed data to a file. You can put the CyQ5XX A/D in continuous acquire mode, and the data will go to a file name that you enter the path and name for (the default file name is programs/accessories/capture.txt). You can then import this file into a spreadsheet or whatever. You can also direct the output to a line printer for hard copy. The funny character (y umlaut) at the beginning of each line represents the invisible "null" (0xFF) start character from the CyQ5XX.
