Your PC is now setup to

transmit and receive data
 Follow the steps below to download from the CNC to your PC.

NOTE: When data is received by Hyperterminal, the bottom of your screen will show
the baud rate and type of data. NOTE: ISO transmits 7 data + 1 parity bit. Hyperterminal
may see this data as 8 data bits and N parity. In a previous step we set Hyperterminal to “
Force data to 7 bit ASCII ” so this will not effect the data.
