SYNC Configuration
Layer N Smart devices are easily configurable through Omega’s SYNC configuration software. Ensure SYNC is running on a
Windows OS computer before continuing. Connect the SS-015 to a computer running SYNC using a micro-USB 2.0 cable.
Note:
SYNC is available to download for free on the Omega website.
6.1
Connecting to SYNC – Automatic Detect
Once the SS-015 is connected to a computer, SYNC will automatically detect the device and display readings.
Note:
If live readings from the SS-015 are displayed on SYNC, skip ahead to the section titled

Communication Interface
Set the communication parameters for the Layer N Smart Interface that will be connected.
Note:
The connection type and parameters must be accurate for a proper connection to be established.
Failure to accurately set up communication parameters may result in communication errors.
•
Connection Type:
Select the type of connection that is established between the SS-015 and the computer.
•
Command Timeout:
The maximum time (in milliseconds) for a command to be completed before the
command is aborted.
Note:
The default command timeout is 500 milliseconds. It is recommended that this section be left
unchanged to avoid communication errors.
•
Device Address:
The default device address is 1. The numerical value will automatically increase to the next
available device address for every new device added to prevent duplicate addresses.
•
Device IP or Port:
The COM port number that the device is connected to on the computer.
•
BaudRate:
Controls bits per second
•
DataBits:
The number of bits in each character sent.
