WRITING TO AND READING FROM THE ENCODER

When using the 720 software program to address the encoder from a

computer, once any single or series of RDS parameters have been set

and any text entered, it is then necessary to click

WRITE

to send the

data to the encoder. The data will be transferred to non-volatile

memory within the Model

720 at that time.
Keep in mind that when

the

WRITE

button is

clicked, the entire contents

of the software screen will

be re-sent to the encoder.
Similarly, clicking:

READ

will download the contents of the 720 En-

coder memory back to the software where it can be read or saved as

a .rds file.

ADDRESSING THE 720 WITH A SERIAL LINK

The following tutorial will give instructions on serial connection

with the 720 encoder. The software detailed in the USB discussion

is the same used for serial communication. As previously recom-

mended, initial setup is easiest with a USB link.

Serial

Connection

If currently connected, disconnect the USB cable from the encoder.

Using the DB9 serial cable provided, connect the computer to the

Model 720.

In the Menu Bar, click

Interface

and then

RS-232

. This will bring up

a box labeled

RS232 Settings

. In this box the baud rate of the com-

puter and encoder ports may be set manually using drop-down

menus, or a handy built-in utility will automatically determine set-

tings.

Changing

Baud Rates

When changing the baud rate of the encoder, keep in mind that the

720 will not respond to an improper incoming baud rate. You will

have to know what baud rate the 720 is set to, establish communica-

tions at that rate, and then reset the computer baud rate if this is

the aim. The USB connection can always be used to reset the en-

coder s baud rate, or the built-in Auto-Detect utility can be used.

Auto-Detect

Clicking

Auto-Detect

will

start a software utility

that will interrogate all

computer COM ports, de-

termine which one is con-

nected to the 720 Encoder,

and set the computer s

baud rate to match the encoder. A valid connection will be con-

firmed by a notification at the bottom of the window, first showing

Found

, and then listing the port and its speed
