Rinstrum Remote Display Configurator
Use the
Rinstrum D800 Remote Display Configurator
software to configure the
remotes. The software Versions 1.01 and higher are applicable to the string
structure described here. The settable options are laid out in check boxes or
drop-down menus with simple instructions shown
.
Alternative Methods
The
Configuration String
can be streamed from a PC running terminal
software such as "RealTerm", Android App "Slick USB" or similar. Alternatively,
you can use the custom string format in the Rinstrum R400 series indicators to
send the string (this method cannot currently be used for displays with Ethernet
option).
Process:
•
Remove power from the remote.
•
Connect a suitable serial cable from the input of the display to your PC,
tablet or R400 indicator and apply power. (For displays with Ethernet
option, follow the instructions in the installation manual on how to install and
configure this option)
•
If the remote has not received and displayed a valid protocol prior to being
reset from custom settings, then you will have send a supported protocol
first to acknowledge the previous changes.
•
Send the
Reset String
via the software or R400 indicator until.
•
Display will show
–OK—
then reinitialize at default settings (Note: if the unit
is already at default settings then the
–OK—
message will not be shown)
•
Determine what settings need to be changed as based on the
Configuration String.
Set the suitable options in the software or create a
custom string in the connected R400 Series indicator.
•
Send the
Configuration String
out to the display until
Proto 40
then
–
OK
—
is shown, (at least 6 times at 1 sec intervals best).
•
The remote will now reinitialize with the new settings as shown in the start-
up sequence.
•
Disconnect power to the remote.
•
If required disconnect the setup cable and reconnect the primary system
device.

Apply power to remote.
