HyperTerminal Setup for EnerMatic

HyperTerminal is a terminal emulation program that can be used to control an EnerMatic system from your MS Windows computer. It comes included with most Windows computers.

If you don't want to use HyperTerminal, any terminal emulator that supports VT100 terminals should work, however we are only able to support HyperTerminal here.

Here's a list of the essential settings:

• VT100 Terminal Emulation
• 19200 baud
• Data bits:8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
• Line delay: 100 milliseconds
• Character delay: 10 milliseconds

If you wish to use HyperTerminal, the following screen shots can be used as a reference.

1. Start HyperTerminal (usually located in Start menu | Programs | Accessories | Communications).
2. Create a new connection configuration with HyperTerminal name "Enermatic".
   
3. Click "OK".
   
4. Select the COM port that will be hooked up to the Enermatic's Terminal Port. The screen shot shows an example using COM1. Note that if you are using a USB to RS232 dongle or your computer has multiple COM ports, you may not be using COM1.
   
5. Click "OK".
   
6. Set the com port parameters exactly as shown in the following screen shot.
   
7. Click "OK".
   
8. Open the terminal properties (usually menu File | Properties).
9. Click the Settings tab and set the Enermatic Terminal Properties as shown below.
   
10. Click on "ASCII Setup..." button.

12. Click "OK".
    
13. Click "OK".
    
14. Save the configuration file (usually menu File | Save).
    Note: If you save the config file to the Desktop, it makes starting up HyperTerminal with the right settings easy (just double click the config file icon).
