Immediately after power-up, both instrument, and PC comms
settings need to be made compatible before communication
between them is possible. Instrument defaults are shown
below together with available options.
(Address)
This is a unique identification
number that must be allocated to each
instrument connected to the network.
Default = 0.
Options;
1 to 247
(Baud rate)
The setting determines the serial
communication data transmission rate in
bits/sec, and must match the PC settings.
Default = 9600.
Options;
1200; 2400; 4800; 9600
and
19200
NOTE:
If a comms board has been retro fitted
the default baud rate is 1200.
(Data)
Sets the transmission format,
and must match the PC settings

Commissioning and
troubleshooting aid. Display shows when the
instrument is transmitting or receiving data by
rapidly flashing the three horizontal segments
of the first and last digit of the display.
First digit = Tx; last digit = Rx
Default = Off.
Options;
off; on
Only use dbuG during commissioning or trouble-shooting
because it shares display segments and therefore corrupts
the normal display.
