3.1.3
Change Baud Rate
There are two baud rates involved with the VR2C:
1.
the baud rate used between the VR2C and VUE during the current communication session, and
2.
the baud rate used for communication with a host device (datalogger, PC, serial terminal, etc.) after
the VR2C has disconnected from VUE (section 3.1.5 contains more information about using a host).
The default for both these baud rates is 9600bps but communication speeds can be increased to as high as
115200bps, depending on the type of cable being used for communication.
Follow the steps listed below to change a baud rate.
Establish communication
between the VR2C and
the VUE software
(section 3.1.2).
STEP 1
Click the Device Configuration icon (looks like a
wheel cog) on the VR2C Receiver T
ab’s ribbon.
This icon is not available if communication
between the VR2C and VUE is not established.
STEP 2
Identify the baud rate(s) you want changed and select the new value from the corresponding drop-down list.
Click “OK”. If you are changing the Permanent Baud Rate, a window will appear to remind you that the new
baud setting will remain in effect after VUE disconnects and RTM output will use this new baud.
STEP 4
Communication speed (bps) between VR2C
and an external host. Value is used after
VR2C is disconnected from VUE and
remains as set until you change it.
Communication speed (bps) between VR2C
and VUE. Value is valid only for current
communication session and returns to default
(9600) when communication session ends.
Select “Serial Options”
from the list that appears
under the Device
Configuration icon.
STEP 3
This opens the
VR2C Serial Options
window.
