The port identifies the serial communications port to which
the DXD pressure transducer(s) is(are) connected. To find
available ports, navigate to the Device Manager in windows…,
and expand the Ports (COM & LPT) item. Available choices
for port are 1-256.
The baud rate is the maximum rate, in bits
per second (bps), that you want data to be
transmitted through this port. The DXD pres-
sure transducer with which you are commu-
nicating must have the same setting that you
choose here. Available choices for baud rate
are shown in the graphic to the right. Factory
default is 19200 bits per second.
The number of data bits you want to use
for each character that is transmitted and
received. The DXD pressure transducer with
which you are communicating must have the
same setting that you choose here. Avail-
able choices for data bits are shown in the
graphic to the right.
The type of error checking you want to use
for the selected port. The DXD pressure
transducer with which you are communi-
cating must have the same setting that you
choose here. Available choices for parity are
shown in the graphic to the right.
The time between each character being
transmitted (where time is measured in bits).
Available choices for stop bits are shown in
the graphic to the right.
The find window, shown in Figure 10 provides search capa-
bilities for one or more connected DXD pressure transducers
for which any combination of addresses and baud rates are
unknown.
