Configuring the DataBridge SDR2-CF

TIP:
Messages with
only a carriage return
(no line feed) after
them will appear to
overwrite previous
messages in your
terminal software. You
can enable your
communications
software’s "append
linefeeds to incoming
carriage returns"
feature to see these
messages properly.
2.6 Testing your configuration
To test your configuration, disconnect your terminal from the configuration
port and use a null modem adapter or cable to connect your terminal to the
data port. Your computer then becomes a data source.
Press the Record button to enter record mode. The SDR2-CF’s record
indicator will illuminate and the output messages you entered will be
displayed once or at the specified output intervals.
To ensure that recording is occurring, type several keystrokes on the
terminal or use the software’s ASCII text upload feature to send a text file.
The SDR2-CF’s data indicator should blink as you press keys, indicating
data is being received. When finished, press the record button again to stop
recording and inspect the file created on the CF card.
Note:
The SDR2-CF will not echo data while it is being recorded, so you
will not see characters appear on-screen as you type. You can enable your
terminal software’s "local echo" or "full duplex" feature to view data as you
send it.
