Mini-USB data communication
With a direct USB connection, a driver must be installed for the Pilot ONE or for KISS/OLÉ that installs a virtual COM port
on a Windows PC. This virtual COM port behaves like an RS232 port and is selected accordingly in communication soft-
ware (e.g. SpyControl) also as an RS232 port (e.g. COM 5).
You can find the drivers on our website in the Service & Download --> Software area.

USB-RS232 Converter
When using a USB-RS232 converter, a virtual COM port is also installed on Windows PCs. This virtual COM port can also
be used like a normal hardware RS232 port. Drivers are available from corresponding converter manufacturer.


Important: The converter must not be connected directly onto Huber devices - neither with Pilot ONE nor
with KISS/OLÉ. A null modem cable (crossed cable), e.g. # 6146 must always be used between converter and
Huber device.

 Pilot Remote Software
The Pilot Remote software enables complete remote con-
trol of Huber temperature control units with Pilot ONE via
any PC/laptop with Microsoft Windows. The familiar Pilot
ONE user interface is displayed on the PC, i.e. identical op-
eration on PC and temperature control unit.
Communication takes place via an Ethernet network con-
nection with secure authentication and encryption. The
software runs on Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 (32/64 bit).
When purchasing the software, a hardware dongle is in-
cluded in the scope of delivery; this is required to operate
the software.

PyCommand
This Python programming example makes it easier to famil-

(Ethernet, RS232, USB) with Huber temperature control de-
vices. The components Python 2.7.4 and pySerial 2.6 from
the runtime package are required.

PyCommand is a graphic program as an aid for Huber com-

mand sets. With the software, individual commands can be
sent to Huber devices and commands can be tried out with-
out having to program. The program can be used with the
interfaces RS232, USB and Ethernet.
