RS485 Star Card Manual V14 4Feb04.doc Page 10/29
RS232 serial port.
The DB9F connector provides the ability to use a Laptop PC to monitor the
data being sent out of the StarCard via RS232.
With the optional protocol converter fitted, on power up or if SW1 or SW2
switches are altered the unit sends the current protocol, baud rate and parity
settings. Please be aware that the laptop baud rate and parity must match
the settings selected with SW2. If the settings do not match then the laptop
display will have no meaning.
An power up message example is shown below :

A debug mode can also be selected which provides detailed information for
each command received. Whilst trouble shooting BBV engineers may ask
you to use this mode with a laptop or other PC.
