5 SERIAL INTERFACE
The NuPower Xtender includes an RS-485 serial interface for adjusting linearization parameters via a
serial terminal program, such as
Termite .
The serial port must be configured with the following attributes:
•
Baud rate: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Parity: None
This section provides the user with the command syntax necessary to properly configure the
bidirectional amplifier module for use. All commands have the following attributes:
•
A command consists of a string of characters, followed by a terminating Carriage Return
character,
¿
(hex 0D).
•
Command processing is not case sensitive.
