2. Configuring the
DataBridge
SDR2-USB
Now that you’ve successfully edited the SDR2-USB’s setup.txt file, you are
ready to configure it for use with your serial data source. Using the setup
file, you can:
• Set the date and time.
•
Configure handshaking and data word format for your device.
• Specify a directory to record files to.
•
Specify a filename for recording.
•
Select how and when data is written to files.
•
Add time stamps to recorded files.
Before you begin, be sure you have the documentation available for the
device you’ll connect to your SDR2-USB. If possible, be sure you can
communicate with the data source using the supplied software and/or your
communications software. An intimate knowledge of your data source's
communications standards will make connecting it to the SDR2-USB
simple.
Note: all SDR2-USB settings are persistent. Changes made via the
setup file will be retained by the recorder after power is removed and
until they are reversed in the setup file or the recorder is restored to
factory defaults (see Section 3.4).
