Module 5 is the programming module for the Serial Communications
Parameters. The only paramters of concern when utilizing the CUB5USB
programming option card to communicate with Crimson 2 programming
software is the Baud Rate and Meter Address. The Parameters are only
accessible when an optional CUB5USB, RS232 or RS485 serial
communications card is installed in the meter.

BAUD RATE
Set the baud rate to match that of other serial communications equipment.
Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial
communications equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving.
Select either 7- or 8-bit data word length. Set the word length to match the
other serial communications equipment on the serial link.
This parameter only appears when the Data Bit parameter is set to a 7-bit
data word length. Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial equipment
on the serial link. The meter ignores parity when receiving data and sets the
parity bit for outgoing data. If parity is set to
NO
, an additional stop bit is used
to force the frame size to 10 bits.
This parameter determines the formatting of data transmitted from the meter
in response to a Transmit Value command or a Block Print Request. Select
NO
for a full print transmission, consisting of the meter address, mnemonics, and
parameter data. Select
YES
for abbreviated print transmissions, consisting of the
parameter data only. This setting is applied to all the parameters selected in the
PRINT OPTIONS. (Note: If the meter address is 0, the address will not be sent
during a full transmission.)
This parameter selects the meter values transmitted in response to a Print
Request. A print request is also referred to as a block print because more than
one parameter can be sent to a printer or computer as a block.
Selecting
YES
displays a sublist for choosing the meter parameters to appear
in the print block. All active parameters entered as
YES
in the sublist will be
transmitted during a block print. Parameters entered as
NO
will not be sent.
The “Print All” (
P-ALL
) option selects all meter values for transmitting (
YES
),
without having to individually select each parameter in the sublist.
Note: Inactive parameters will not be sent regardless of the print option
setting. For example, the Setpoint value(s) will not be sent unless an optional
setpoint card is installed in the meter.

METER ADDRESS
Enter the serial node address. With a single unit, an address is not needed
and a value of zero can be used (RS232 applications). Otherwise, with multiple
bussed units, a unique address number must be assigned to each meter. The
node address applies specifically to RS485 applications.
