Connecting to a Computer

The Portable Timeclock uses a standard USB connection to the Computer serial port.
Communications are set at a speed of 9600 baud using 8 bits no parity.
A third party VCP USB driver from FTDI is used to convert the USB connection into
a COMM port. Once the driver is installed onto the computer the Windows operating
system will detect the Portable Timeclock when it is first plugged into the USB port.
The driver will then allocate an unused COMM port to the device and this COMM
port can then be selected by the Polling software to communicate with the clock.

It must be noted that if the Portable Timeclock is not plugged into the
AC adapter then the user will have to turn the unit ON by pressing the

P button before communication can take place.

Polling Software

The Portable Timeclock uses the same Polling software as the TR3 and uses all the
same formats for each of the available commands.
The Polling functions available are:

set_time
get_times
get_status
system_reset
Software Upgrade

The

get_status

command will have the same contents as the TR3 but those functions

that  are  not  available  in  the  TR3  will  show  as  disabled.  Below  is an  example  of  the
Status request:

01 Job Costing          Enabled
01 Job Accept           Auto
01 Job Limit Match    Less or Equal
01 Job Table Match    Disabled
01 Job Table Check    Disabled
01 Emp Limit Match   Less or Equal
01 Bell Tables

Disabled
