M-Meter Download Procedure Copy the Jedit1.exe file to your hard drive and to a directory of your
choice and store the diskette in a safe place. (Do this once) 1. Connect the cable to the serial port of computer and to the M-Meter.
2. Turn on computer.
3. Open a DOS window. (The program will work in a DOS window but if you have trouble boot to MS-DOS)
4. At the prompt C:\WINDOWS\> type cd\yourdirectory this moves you to the directory where Jedit1.exe is located.
5. Type Jedit1 (Jedit1.exe is the most correct but why type 4 extra letters).
6. You are now in the main area of the Jedit1 program. Press Alt-C to open the connect menu.
7. Use the arrow keys to move to M-Meter and choose it by F7.
8. The comm ports box will open pick the comm port associated with were the M-Meter cable is plugged in, with the arrow keys or by typing the number of the port. For most notebook type computers this will be Comm1. (It will almost never be 3 or 4)
9. Next type Alt-t, and then choose ON. The work area of the screen turns blue and opens a file TALK.DAT to receive the data this is the preferred method and works best.
10.Turn the console ON with the key.
11.Use the tool to move the selector switch to History if not already there. (The unit at this time may dump its data to your file if not continue with the instructions)
12.Hold the white CH select switch down as the six (6) channels slowly go by release the button on the channel you want to record. The data should appear on the screen. Don’t be to quick here it not a bad thing to let it go around once then release.
13.Save data with F2 key, Save command or Save As command in the File menu.
Notes and Troubleshooting1. It would be a good idea to develop a standard naming system for all jobs that will identify the part uniquely for storage in a central location.
2. .dat may in some computers be associated with another program. This maybe another older DOS program or a DVD/Movie/MPEG player.
3. In some notebook computers that have an IR port and a DB-9 comm port the IR port will have to be disabled. (Think IBM here but others also)
4. To make this all happen I have had to pull power and the battery from some notebook computers and make a fresh start.
5. The download ability of the M-Meter can be tested with the Radio Shack cat no. 276-1401 RS-232 Line Analyzer and a Serial Port Adapter cat no 26-287B. When the M-Meter with its cable is plugged into the unit and turned on the RD light should be Red When the unit downloads the light will turn Green, if you look very close you will see that it is blinking red to green. I can say that when this happens the M-Meter and cable are ok. Also when the analyzer is plugged into the comm port the TD, RTS and DTR start off, as Red and the RTS and DTR are Green after comm1 is selected in step 6. If this does not hapen this way the computer will not receive Data. It is not however say the computer will accept data.
6. When I have had trouble down loading data I have gone to TALK.DAT downloaded then to the file I wanted and downloaded again or used the SAVE AS command in the file menu but most times the software will let you open any file you like with any extension and will drop the data with no problem, but sometimes not and I do not have a reason.
7. The file created is an ASCII text file. This type file normally caries the extension .txt and is associated with Notepad (or other text editor) in most Windows computers. This type of file can be imported to almost any MS-office product like Excel, Word, Outlook, Power Point, and Front Page. Also it can be imported into WordPad, Pocket Excel, Pocket Word, WordPerfect, Dream Weaver and most Paint and Cad programs.
RS-232 Line Analyzer Instructions Cat No 276-1401:1. With computer and peripheral(s) OFF, install the RS-232 Line Analyzer into the computer DB-25 connector. Remember that some patch cables invert one or more pairs of data lines
2. Power up equipment normally.
3. Run a diagnostic or other program for which you can predict the status of the RS-232 data lines.
4. Normal operation of the system will be indicated by these conditions. LEDs of RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, CD, Green= Active RED=INACTIVE LEDs of TD, RD, Red=NO DATA BEING SENT Mixed Red and Green= DATA BEING SENT
5. Analyzer may be left in the line as long as you wish.
