SETUP SERIAL (2/8) menu page
This menu page is used to modify the remote control and communication settings for the four serial ports (RS-232
and RS-422).
This menu page also enables the operator to customize a few of the most common ballistic controls used during
serial remote control. For example, one can customize the “feel” and speed of the Jog response (external) as well
as the shuttle and “cue up with data” serial 422 speeds. Since these settings can be saved as part of a
configuration file and loaded later, this permits flexibility to support custom settings for many different user tastes.
These settings affect the communication ability of serial “terminal” programs and the LDV8000 control protocol (Port
B only). The serial settings on the Acuity and the connected PC must match in order to communication between the
two to function properly.
IMPORTANT! While it is not specifically listed, the Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits settings for both RS-232 serial
ports on the Acuity are fixed at 8N1, which is the most common setting for this type of serial port.
Setup Serial Options Description
Use this control to activate/deactivate an external control protocol for
the RS-422 ports (both A and B). Only one external control protocol
may be active at one time, therefore this single control combines the
selection of port and protocol in one gadget. The Acuity will appear to
the controlling device as a video tape recorder.
RS-422 A Protocol
Options include:
•
None
•
Sony
