Hardware Setup
The Hardware Setup configuration allows you to determine the
following settings:
•
Serial Port
– Allows you to edit the following settings
which affect data transmitted from the RS-232 port.
Baud Rate
– Choose the correct baud rate.
Hand Shake
– Set the method of handshaking
between the instrument and your computer. There are
four handshake methods: Off, CTS, BUSY, or XON.
Auto XMT
– Enable (on) or disable (off) automatic
transmission of measured data.
Separator
– Determine the character that separates the
data components of a measurement: Space, Comma,
Tab, CR (carriage return), CRLF (carriage return, line
feed), LF (line feed).
Delimiter
– Determine the character that terminates
the string of measured data: Space, Comma, Tab, CR
(carriage return), CRLF (carriage return, line feed), or
LF (line feed).
Set Data Types
– Determine the type of data that is
transmitted after a measurement (if Auto XMT is on or
when requested by an RCI command). Available data
types are SPIN Colorimetric, SPEX Colorimetric,
SPIN Reflectance, and SPEX Reflectance.
Header
– Enables (on) or disables (off) the header
from printing during a data transmit.
Std Printout
– Enables (on) or disables (off) the
standard from printing during a data transmit. If “Diff
Disp” is turned off in Measure Options, no standard
will print regardless of this setting.
Emulation
– (SP62 and SP64 only) Enables the
instrument to emulate other instrument outputs. When
set to Off, the instrument communicates normally.
When set to SP68, the instrument duplicates the SP68
communication (including RCI version command
response) allowing communication with older X-Rite
software packages (QA-Master, Paint-Master, etc.).
•
Read Oper.
– Determines the method that is used to take a
measurement.
RCI Only
– A measurement can only be initiated
through an RCI command via the RS-232 port.
