This Utility is compatible with Windows 7 or later. Other OSs are not supported.

The OseComm32 utility uses the proprietary OseComm32 protocol to provide the following functionality:

Send file
File reception
Date and time settings
Get date and time
Get application version
Get OS version
Get file list
Delete file

Each of these functions is called a protocol task, and multiple protocol tasks can be executed within one session.
The protocol tasks to be executed during a session are specified on the OseComm32 utility side (PC side).

When connecting OPH-5000i with OseComm32 utility, specify one of the following virtual COM ports on the PC side.
