Opening Communication port 

Rudolf opens the PC communication port, Com1 – Com4.   

If the selected port is in use by another program, this operation 
fails.  If no port is selected, Rudolf brings up a dialog that 
makes you select a port. 

 

Connecting to control unit

 

Rudolf makes sure that a control System is connected to the PC. 

If it fails, make sure the right cable is connected and that the 
control unit is powered. 

 

Receiving Data… 

Rudolf receives the project currently in the control unit.  If it 
fails, there is a bad cable connection between the PC and the 
control unit. 

 

Verifying Data… 

After receiving all data, Rudolf reads the control unit again to 
make sure all data is correct.  If it fails, there is a bad cable 
connection between the PC and the control unit.

the PC communication port.
