Description
The first time the Processor Unit is powered
up after a TV80 software installation, it will
automatically do a search to find available
serial ports. Every serial communication
port is presented as a 9–pin D-connector.
Next to every port icon, a green indicator
shows it is available, while a red one shows
it is not available. Select the system you
want to interface from the list provided. If
your equipment is not listed, select
Other
hardware
.
Tip
You can give your new serial port a more
descriptive name in the
Serial Port Setup
dialog box.

Communication with external devices is important for TV80 operation. The communication
between the Processor Unit and peripheral devices takes place using "datagrams". These
datagrams are self-contained and independent entities of data carrying information. When
setting up or maintaining the TV80, it is always useful to verify that the communication
lines with external devices are operational. The
Port Monitor
dialog box allows you to study
the communication stream on the chosen serial line or LAN port.
How to open
The
Port Monitor
dialog box, is opened from the
I/O Setup
page on the
Installation
dialog
box. To open, select the inspection point next to the port icon in the “block diagram”.
The
Installation
dialog box is located on the

menu.
