Connection to the power meter

What do I need?

You only need a free/unused seriel port on your PC or a commercial `USB to seriel changer` and a power meter (LMG95/450/500) with a seriel interface. Exception to the LMG95, every power meter from ZES ZIMMER got a seriel interface allready by the basic version.
The connection is raised with an normal 1:1 cable (see also special case LMG310).

power meter connection

Connect the ComA socket of your LMG with the free seriel port on your PC. Alternative, you can also use an 'USB to seriel converter'. These converters are favorable to get by a computer accesories store or you can order it directly from ZES ZIMMER.
Start now "BMP2PC" an click on
Options->Configuration.
From the now shown list, choose now your seriel port, to which your LMG is connected. In the configuration list, only the available and not in use seriel ports of your PC will be shown. At least confirm your settings by pressing the OK button.

By using an USB adapter, you get a virtuel com port, which will be dynamic allocated from the operating system. For more details, please take a look on theFAQ-site.

special case LMG310

Connect the AUX socket at the back side on the back side of the LMG310 with a free seriel port of your PC.
As opposed to to the other LMG`s, you have to use a modem eliminator (null modem) or a corresponding gender changer.
By choosing of the seriel port, please activate also the option LMG310 on the right side of the port choice.
With the LMG310 its only possible to save the grafical mode (f.e. the spektrumview). Therefor, choose for the printer, in the logging menu of the LMG310, `BMP2PC (aux)`. Subsequently you copy the signalviews of the grafic menus by pressing Print to the program 'BMP2PC'. Copying of other menus apart from the grafic views are not possible.
