Use the Serial Port screen to set the parameters for the 925VST serial port connection.
Choose the baud rate (1200, 9600, 38400, or 115200 bps), data bits (8 or 7), and parity
(none, even or odd). For best results, use the default settings:
•
38400 bps (this is the baud rate)
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
Use the optional 925VST serial port (RS-232) cable (Part #: 9400-0048-01) to connect the
925VST to your computer.
NOTE: In previous versions, users had to manually place the 925VST in Download Mode.
This is now done automatically; you do not need to change the mode of the 925VST to
download software.

OINT
When interfacing to equipment that is exceptionally sensitive to input signals from the
925VST, you can adjust (increase or decrease) the level of test signals transmitted by the
925VST. For example, setting the TX Level Point to -10 dB reduces the transmitted signal
level to 10 dB below the normal transmit level. The allowable range is –50dB to 0dB; the
default TX Level Point is 0dB.
