Getting Started with the cDAQ Controller
CONSOLE OUT
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for LabVIEW Real-Time)
The position of the
CONSOLE OUT switch determines whether console input and output are
redirected to the RS-232 serial port. If the switch is in the ON position, console
input and output are redirected to the RS-232 serial port. If the switch is in the OFF
position, the RS-232 serial port functions normally.
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use console output to read the POST
results, BIOS revision, IP addresses, and software installed on the cDAQ
controller. Use a null-modem cable to connect the RS-232 serial port on the
controller to a computer. Push the CONSOLE OUT switch to the ON position.
Make sure that the serial-port terminal program is configured with the same
settings as the RS-232 serial port. The RS-232 serial port in CONSOLE OUT
mode has the following default configuration settings:
9,600 bits per second
Eight data bits
No parity
One stop bit
No flow control
You can use the BIOS setup menu to modify the CONSOLE OUT configuration
settings for the RS-232 serial port.
Keep the CONSOLE OUT switch in the OFF position during normal operation.
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for Windows)
NI recommends that you keep the
CONSOLE OUT switch in the OFF position at all times.
IP RESET
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for LabVIEW Real-Time)
Push the IP RESET
switch to the ON position and reboot the controller to reset the IP address and
other TCP/IP settings of the controller to the factory defaults. Refer to the
the BIOS Setup Utility to Change Configuration Settings
section of Appendix A,
Controller Operating System and Configuration
, for more information about
resetting the IP address. You can also push this switch to the ON position to
unlock a controller that was previously locked in MAX.
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for Windows)
NI recommends that you keep the IP
RESET switch in the OFF position at all times.
