RS232
The RS232 settings control the RS232 functionality of the connected transducer.
Baud Rate
The baud rate option selects the RS232 transmit and receive rate for the
connected transducer. It is recommended that the user select the fastest mode
possible (115200bps), as lowering the speed will reduce the throughput and add
latency to programs interrogating the transducer.
In some circumstances it may not be possible to run at very high baud rates as
some systems, especially embedded devices, may not be able to generate such
high baud rates. Long cable lengths may also hinder the use of higher baud
rates. To accommodate all users we have provided a selection of three baud
rates:
 9600bps
 38400bps
 115200bps
To change the baud rate, select the desired option from the “Baud Rate” combo
box. Please note that a baud rate change will only take effect after a transducer
reset.
Auto Reset
The “Reset Percentage” controls the reset point of the Peak Torque Auto Reset
feature. The Peak Torque Auto Reset feature monitors the captured torque readings
and stores the peak torque value. The peak torque value is automatically zeroed
