I think that's talking about opening the serial monitor in the Arduino programming environment, so you that you can read the data that the Arduino code is sending over the serial port.

Here's the relevant portion of the arduino code for reading the sensor.

Code:
/*Begin the detection and get the pulse back signal*/
void Ultrasonic::DistanceMeasure(void)
{
    pinMode(_pin, OUTPUT);
	digitalWrite(_pin, LOW);
	delayMicroseconds(2);
	digitalWrite(_pin, HIGH);
	delayMicroseconds(5);
	digitalWrite(_pin,LOW);
	pinMode(_pin,INPUT);
	duration = pulseIn(_pin,HIGH);
}
