Parameters MENU – RS232 Options MENU
This menu allows RS232 option parameters to be modified by an operator for serial communication or printing
through RS232.
RS232 Communication ON
If this option is selected, the IRRADIATOR will transmit data string using selected comm. port, baud rate, data bit, stop bit, parity,
flow control and interface mode.
RS232 Serial Print ON
If this option is selected, the IRRADIATOR will print out data string using selected comm. port and baud rate.
Basic Mode
If this option is selected, the IRRADIATOR is placed in the “Basic” mode. Data are transmitted through the RS-232C output port to
the external device only if a “received text data” signal (RXD) is returned by the device that acknowledges (ACK) the data were
received. An ACK signal is returned for an even parity. Otherwise, a not-acknowledge (NAK) signal is returned.
IO Queue Wait Timeout
Determines IO queue wait timeout in seconds when the IRRADIATOR transmits data through RS232C
ACK MULT and ACK WAIT TIME
ACK MULT determines the number of retries when ACK is not received from host PC and
ACK WAIT TIME determines wait time before ACK is received from host PC. Thus, total wait time is calculated by
multiplying ACK MULT value by ACK WAIT TIME
