Mode
The Channel Mode parameter is used to select Synchronous or Asynchronous operation
for the channel. Each channel is individually selected for sync / async. Channels must be
configured identically on both sides of the link. If Channel 1 is async on the local end,
Channel 1 must also be async on the remote end.
To select a channel
MODE
from the
SYSTEM STATUS
display, press the CHN push button
until the desired channel appears and the PAR push button until the following LCD display
appears:
1 0 1 3 A 0 0 3
CH PARAM VAL
CHn MODE SYN*
Press the VAL push button until the desired value appears. Press STR to configure the
3046 (CTS DDS-MUX) or CHN and PAR to select additional configuration parameters.
Changing any Parameter value and pressing the STR for the channel port
WILL cause
loss of data for that channel.
Character Length
Async character length is selected by using the
CHR-LEN
parameter. As with mode, both
sides of the link must be configured the same. When selecting an element length, the
parity bit, start and stop bits must be considered as part of the data. If 7 bits, even parity,
one stop is desired then
CHR-LEN
of
10
should be selected (1-start, 7-data, 1-parity, 1-
stop).
To select a channel
