15.

If the program is not able to establish communication then

an error message is displayed.  This happens either when the
wrong  serial  port  is  specified  or  when  the  cable  is
disconnected.

16.

The  procedure  to  disable  Continuous  Mode  and  change

the iDRN to Command Mode is as follows:

Using HyperTerminal, or any serial communication program,
type:  

Ctrl + S

To change the device to Command Mode, type:  

^AE

To change the Bus Format Register, type:

*W0814

To reset the device,type:  

*Z01

Cycle power to the unit.

Note:

1) Main, Peak, Valley value: 4 bytes will send from the unit

a. Highest byte always 00h.
b. 2nd Highest byte: (MSB is sign (1=negative, 0=positive),

next 3 bits are number of decimal points).

c. Low nibble of second byte, and lowest 2 bytes are the

value.

d. The decimal point register has to set to: 1, 2, 3, or 4.

2) Bus Format:  Bit 5  1/0 = Modbus/Newport
3) Output Scale/Offset Write:

Due to write single only, two write operation is needed to
write scale/offset, and to make it effective it needs to
follow with Hard Reset command. 

4) To configure to Newport protocol, set bit 5 of Bus Format

to low and follow with Hard Reset command.

3.

Determine the appropriate input signal range, i.e. 400 mV, 

4 Volt, 40 Volt or 400 Volt.  Also ensure that the frequency of
AC source is within the specified limits.

4.

Ensure that if the selected range is different from the default

then  change  the  internal  range  by  using  the  Setup  Software
and select the appropriate range.

5.

Connect the signal input to screw terminal, and ensure that

the  screws  are  tight.    Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  electrical
shock  should  the  wires  become  loose  and  come  out  of  the
screw terminal.

6.

To verify that the set up is correct, you may connect a DVM

to  the  analog  output.    Once  connected,  power  the  signal
conditioner and apply a known voltage from an AC source to
input.    Measure  and  compare  with  expected  values.    To
custom scale the analog output proceed to the next step.

7.

To view/change the scaling that relates the analog output to

signal input:  connect the RS232 output of the signal conditioner to
an available serial port of a computer.  The cable and the DB9 or
DB25 connectors are available as an option.

8.

Turn on the computer, start Windows 3.0 or higher and run

the Signal Conditioner Configuration Setup Program.

9.

Start the configuration program, you need to indicate which

serial port is to be used for serial communication by checking
the appropriate check box on the opening menu.

Note:

It  is  not  necessary  to  know  the  serial  communication

protocol.  i.e. baud rate, parity, 7/8 data bit and stop bit;  the
program  will  determine  this  information  automatically.
However, it is good practice to mark the protocols used on the
signal conditioner label if different from default.

10.

Once  the  program  starts  it  will  automatically  detect  the

signal conditioner configuration and will display a window of
available  options.    To  view  the  signal  input  click  on  the
display on/off.

11.

To  change  analog  output  scaling  choose  analog  output

scaling and enter the desired values.

12.

Once the custom scaling is finished, 

ensure that Send

Configuration is clicked,

otherwise the changes will not take effect.

13.

The  input/output  scaling  may  be  fine  tuned,  while  both

communication and analog output are active.  In fact you may
make  a  change  to  the  analog  output  in  the  configuration
program, and watch the DVM connected to analog output of
the signal conditioner follow the new settings.

14.

You  may  save  or  print  a  particular  configuration  by

selecting  the  file  menu.    It’s  always    a  good  practice  to  both
print and save the  scaling of each signal conditioner.
