Port Errors
The Port Errors screen can help to debug communications channel issues: Parity, Break, and Framing indicate mismatched port settings
or, in the case of Break, incorrect cabling.
6.3.2 Using the iVu Command Channel Sample Application or a Terminal Program for Test-
ing
The easiest way to test that the iVu command channel is correctly receiving and transmitting data is to use either the iVu Command
Channel Sample App (available on the installation CD) or to use a terminal program running on a PC:
If using a terminal program, in the terminal program's configuration:
• Set new-line transmit to <CR><LF> (and set the end-of-frame delimiters on the iVu to match).
• Enable local echo.
• Set the Serial port set up so that the PC port number's baud rate, data, parity, and stop bits match those setup on the iVu.
6.3.3 Verifying Basic Receive Functionality
To verify the iVu can receive request frames from the requesting device:
1. On the iVu Sensor, go to the Main Menu > System > Communications > Serial I/O > Port Status screen.
