SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION
The Serial Port of the Cyclone MAX can be connected to any standard PC
Serial Port. It should be noted that some terminal programs, such as the
HyperTerm program are not designed to function with the Cyclone MAX. The
Cyclone MAX operates at a fixed baud rate of 115200 Baud, 8 Data bits, No
Parity, and 1 Stop Bit.
All of the P&E utilities included with the Cyclone MAX will work via the serial
port, as well as the Ethernet and USB ports. These utilities allow configuration
and control of the Cyclone programmer. Occasionally a customer will need
access to the underlying protocol used by P&E utilities to configure and
control the Cyclone programmer. A specification for the serial and ethernet
protocols used to control the Cyclone MAX is available as part of the
Enterprise Edition of P&E’s Cyclone Automated Control Package. This is
useful for embedded or non-Windows platform control of the Cyclone
Programmer.
