RS-232 Front Panel Configuration
The RS-232 Configuration Mode allows changes to the baud rate, front panel control,
software protocol, parity and auto send parameters. The balance is preconfigured at
Arizona Instrument to communicate with a Vapor Pro.
Any changes to the recommended configuration will affect
communication with the Vapor Pro.
It is not necessary to follow the entire configuration procedure if only one parameter is
to be changed. Follow steps 1 and 2, and then use the MODE switch to cycle through
the different parameters. When the parameter to be changed is displayed, toggle the
setting using the SEND switch until the desired setting is displayed. Save the setting
using the ZERO switch, and the balance will co
nfirm by displaying “SAVEd”. Then,
turn the balance off and then on again with the ON/OFF switch to return to normal
operating mode.
To enter RS-232 configuration mode, proceed as follows:
