18-1 Setting the RS232 parameters
The RS232 parameters may be altered using the “REMOTE” option in the
CONFIGURATION menu. This is accessed in EXPERT status by pressing the
[FUNC] [LOCAL] keys.
Make sure that the EXPERT status is selected, if not use the UP/DOWN key to
move the cursor alongside the “NEWUSER” option and rotate the [DIAL] so
that the legend “EXPERT” is displayed.
Press the [DOWN] key until the “REMOTE” menu is
displayed. There are two parameters which may be
altered.
Use the UP/DOWN key to select the “BPS” option.
This sets the BITS PER SECOND (baud) rate and is
default to 9600 bps. Rotate the [DIAL] to change the
value to either 2400/4800/9600 bps.
Use the UP/DOWN key to select the “DELI” option. This sets the DELIMITER
(end of line / command). Rotate the [DIAL] to select either CR,LF or CR.
Press [ENT] to accept the new parameters and return to SEARCH, SCAN or
VFO mode (whichever was previously in use).
Due to the characteristics of the EEPROM and receiver circuits, the choice of
RS232 communications speed between the receiver and computer may not
greatly affect the operational efficiency. Of course, correct operation will only
be achieved when the parameters are all matched between the computer and
AR8000.
18-2 Changing data input between computer and keypad
When data is received via the AR8000 remote port, operation is transferred to
the computer.
In order to transfer manual “LOCAL” operation to the AR8000 keypad press
[LOCAL]. Operation will be transferred back to the AR8000. When new data
is received via the remote port, operation will again automatically revert to the
computer.
