C.3 Using HyperTerminal or PuTTY to Communicate with Cooke I Lenses

The HyperTerminal or Putty programs can be used to view the information of a lens

through its external interface.

Launch HyperTerminal by running the hypertrm.exe file. From Windows XP it can be

found under Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal.

If there is no HyperTerminal preinstalled on your PC, it can be downloaded from the

Internet or retrieved from a Windows XP computer. [Note: Windows 7 and Vista no

longer provide HyperTerminal but it can easily be installed. The two files you need are

hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe. They are typically found from the Windows XP

installation:

c:\Program Files\Windows NT\Hypertrm.exe

c:\Windows\System32\hypertrm.dll

Copy these files into the same directory on the target Windows PC and launch

HyperTerminal by running the hypertrm.exe file.

Select the serial port to which the lens is connected and specify the connection

settings, (speed=9600, data bits=8, stop bits=1, parity=no, flow control=no), so the

connected lens can be accessed.
