4.3.1 Device Setup
From the iServer Home Page, this option allows the users to add up to eight devices (in
RS485 mode) and the iServer will send the entered commands out and will receive the
responses from those devices. The responses can be seen by clicking on the “Take
Readings” button.
Since only one device can be connected in an RS232 connection, there should be only
one device entered in the “Device Setup” page.
By clicking on the numbers from
1
to
8
, the parameters for each device can be defined.
Figure 4.7 Device Setup
In the “Device Parameters” page the “Device Name” and the “Response Unit” fields are
simply text fields and each can take up to eight alphanumeric characters. The “Device
Command” field is where the actual command is typed. The iServer will send this
command to the serial device as soon as the “Take Reading” button is clicked.
