5. SERIES II MENUS
Blastware is fully compatible with all Series II monitors. The Series II commands communicate
directly with Series II monitors—including the Blastmate II 677, 477, and DS-077 Minimate –
allowing you to change setups, check your sensors and download data. The Blastware software
copies Series II Events directly from a Series II monitor without having to use the Series II DOS
software. Blastware then makes a copy of the Event, leaving the Series II Event in its original
form. Once completed, all of the extensive commands and features of the Blastware software can
be applied to the new Event.
5.1 Connecting Series II Monitors to Your Computer
Connect the Blastmate II 677, 477, or Minimate to your computer using the Blastmate III PC
Connecting Cable provided (part number 712A2301). (This cable is also sometimes referred to as
the Blastmate II serial or connecting cable.) Turn the power Off on the monitor and the computer.
Attach the Blastmate PC connecting cable to a serial port on your computer. Use a 9 pin to 25 pin
adapter if required. Connect the other end of the cable to the AUX connector located on the front
of the Blastmate II 677 or 477. For the Minimate, first connect the Minimate Adapter Cable (part
number 715A1501) to the monitor, and then connect the Blastmate PC connecting cable. Do not
force the connectors or possible damage may result.
WARNING: Use the Blastmate III PC connecting cable only (part number 712A2301).
(Series II users may recognize this cable as the Blastmate II serial or connecting
cable.)
