SOFTWARE SETUP
If SmartTalk or ISS software has been supplied with the instrument refer to the appropriate
manual for the installation and configuration of these programs. Both of these programs are
supplied with Install Shield to simplify installation.
If a terminal emulation program such as Hyperterminal (Windows 95) or Procomm (DOS)
is to be used launch the program. Select the appropriate com port (to which the instrument
is connected), set the communications format to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and select a
baud rate between 2400 and 38400 baud. Apply power to the instrument and press the
<
enter
> key. The standard Micro SVP Sensor will respond with its header information.
Note that some units may be configured for custom outputs and may not respond with a
header. This header identifies the sensor type, serial number and firmware version. The
sensor is then ready to accept commands. If the sensor does not respond refer to the
trouble-shooting guide in
Section 6.3
or the instrument configuration in
Appendix A
.
The command summary for communicating with the instrument is given in
Section 5
.
