13.2 “SINGLE TARGET MODE” CONNECTION
Pressing Single Target Mode establishes a direct, two-way communication link with the Falcon
device. To select which communication channel to use and set the relative parameters, click
"Connection Settings".
The Single Target Mode is the easiest and most immediate way to connect the Falcon processor to the Host PC. It
requires a two-way communication channel between the Host PC and the Falcon encoder.
This channel may be a LOCAL, MODEM or TCP/IP channel. It is useful for real-time monitoring of the current Falcon
status (sound levels, RDS, etc.).
11
For a
USB
connection, once you have installed the driver supplied with the device (as
stated in the section titled "Control Software Installation"), a port (USB VCOM) will
appear in the list as a COM port (“COM5” in the case shown beside). This port allows
you to make a USB connection between the control PC and the Falcon device.
Meanwhile, every time a connection to the Falcon is made via the
serial
port, you will
need to select
'LOCAL RS 232
' in the communication channel (LINK MODE)
configuration windows. The “Link Mode" will automatically be set to 'two-way'. You will
need to set the parameters associated with the PC serial port to use and the relative
speed.
LOCAL PORT
Selects the PC serial port to use for the connection (from 1 to 255).
SERIAL
SPEED
Sets the maximum transmission rate for the PC port selected.
The default set
ting on the Falcon is the maximum value (38400 Baud)
The communication transmission speed set in the PC control software MUST MATCH the relative
transmission rate set for the serial port on the Falcon to which it is connected. For example, if Serial Port 1 on
the Falcon has a transmission rate of 4800 Baud, the same speed must also be set for the PC serial port used
in the connection. The port speed for Serial Port -1 is usually 38,400 bps.
Enter a comment/string of mnemonic characters in the “
