PIXCOMW Communication Specifications
Parameters
The PIXCOMW software requires a fixed set of communication
parameters to be entered to allow the PIX and PC to communicate and
receive the TIME/DATE information. These are:
Baud 1200
Parity Even
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 2
Time Offset
When transmitting the time to the PIX-3000x, the application will add two
seconds to compensate for transmission time. The time offset occurs
immediately before the time is sent out. The offset is determined by
using the following equation:
Transmission Time = (1/1200)(12bits)(200characters) = 2 seconds
This equation takes into account the baud rate, number of bits used for
each character, and the number of characters that are sent to the PIX-
3000x.
