11.1 Configuration via Modpoll
Prerequisite:
You have made the SDI interface on the application
connector suitable for a PC by your application hardware (e.g. a level
converter).
Tip!:
With the KUNBUS-COM Evaluation Board you have a Sub-D
connector at your disposal with RS-232 levels that can be connected
to a serial COM interface of the PC or to a serial USB converter.
Complete Application
Configuration
To configure the module conveniently for application, we recommend
that you make the setting adjustments with the aid of the Modpoll
program supplied.
ü
To do this, open the command line prompt in the first step and then
change to the directory where Modpoll is located. Drag and drop the
modpoll.exe file into the input panel.
◦ Always begin new commands with the input "Modpoll".
ð
Define your application by specifying the protocol type, register address,
baudrate etc. We have compiled the relevant Modpoll commands for
you in the following table.
