Protocol menu Bus
There are three communication ports in the rear panel. The
availability depends on the communication options (see chapter
Ordering code in the technical description). In addition there is
a connector in the front panel overruling the local port in the
rear panel.
REMOTE PORT
Communication protocol for remote port X5 [Protocol].
Message counter [Msg#]. This can be used to verify that the
device is receiving messages.
Communication error counter [Errors].
Communication time-out error counter [Tout].
Information of bit rate/data bits/parity/stop bits.
This value is not directly editable. Editing is done in the
appropriate protocol setting menus.
The counters are useful when testing the communication.
LOCAL PORT
This port is disabled, if a cable is connected to the front panel
connector.

device is receiving messages.
Communication error counter [Errors].
Communication time-out error counter [Tout].

This is a second menu for local port X4. The VAMPSET
communication status is showed.
