In order to read catch monitoring sensor data, you must first connect one or more receiver
units to the Processor Unit. The TV80 system supports several receiver units. The PI50 and
PI60 receivers must be connected to the Processor Unit with a serial line.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that a receiver has been connected to the Processor Unit by means
of a serial line, and that the communication line has been initiated. If the Processor Unit is
not fitted with a suitable serial line connector, use a USB-to-serial converter.
Context
The communication between the PI50 and PI60 Receiver Units and the Processor Unit
is made using a (1:1) serial line.
