USE OF PROGRAMMING AND MONITORING SOFTWARE DSR TERMINAL
1. Installation
Run the “install.exe” programme from Windows
This creates the directory
C:\dsrterm , with the executable code, and creates the link on the desktop.
Launch the DSR Terminal program from the Windows desktop.
In case of lack of shortcut dsr_terminal.lnk on the desktop, it can be copied from C:\dsrterm
2. Introduction
Upon opening the user interface, the program is presented as indicated in the left part of figure 14.
The connection is confirmed when the indicator
Connected (16) goes from yellow to green.
If the communication takes place without errors, the Com STAT indicator (15) goes from red to green.
IMPORTANT: The communication may take place only if all three of the indicators Connected (16) Com
STAT (15) and Com ERROR (14) are green. The ADDRESS window indicates the slave address with
which it is communicating, almost in real time.
Communication
The ComPort menu has 2 functions:
1. Connect/Disconnect activates or deactivates the connection with the slave unit (DSR/DER1
regulator)
2. Settings opens a window (as shown in figure 11), through which several parameters, concerning
communications, can be set:
•
The Port setting determines which serial port it is intended to use for communications (COM1 or
COM2).
•
The parameter Slave ADDR refers to the device with which it is intended to communicate (location L
[1] ).
•
The parameter Baud sets the transmission speed with which the master unit (system supervisor)
exchanges data with one or more slave units (digital regulators).
