TRINGS
There are two methods of testing RS232 Command Strings directly from the RS232 Palette Editor: One is
directly out of the PC’s Comport and the second method is through the CSPLCD’s RS232 Com Port –

Item #21
. Using both methods you can control the component or device directly for confirmation of command
string or send the command to an RS232 Utility programming to verify proper output (this is good for Trouble
Shooting purposes or for testing the program without the component or device present).
Using PC TEST:
1. Connect the Com Port of the PC running Universal Dragon to the corresponding component or
device of the commands to be tested.
NOTE:
A “Null Modem” cable may be necessary for communicating with the Component or Device.
Please check with the Manufacturer to see if this is required.
2. Click on the ‘PC Test’ button in the RS232 Palette Editor.
3. Make sure the RS232 Port Settings are set appropriate for the device connected to (refer to the
mfg’s Instruction Manual of the component or device being tested for the proper communication
settings)
4. Click on the command string to be tested on the left-hand side of the RS232 Palette Editor.
Note:
Only commands with the icon will be able to be tested.
5. The Device or Component connected should respond accordingly. If not, check the command string
entered and port settings in the Test RS232 Settings window. If still having problems see the
Trouble Shooting section to verify RS232 communication.
6. Test all Command Stings in this fashion before placing into a Palette File.
Using CSPLCD TEST:
NOTE: The PC running Universal Dragon needs to connected to the programming port of the
CSPLCD Display and communication verified (Base Unit “Who Am I”) before continuing.
1. Connect the Port labeled
SERIAL
on the rear of the SmartPad LCD™ Panel –
Figure 3 Item #21
to the RS232422 Converter (not included) and then connect the DB9 port of the converter to the
corresponding component or device of the commands to be tested.
NOTE:
A “Null Modem” cable may be necessary for communicating with the Component or Device.
Please check with the Manufacturer to see if this is required.
2. Click on the ‘CSPLCD Test’ button in the RS232 Palette Editor.
3. Make sure the RS232 Port Settings (Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, and Stop Bits) are set
appropriate for the device connected to (refer to the mfg’s Instruction Manual of the component or
device being tested for the proper communication settings). Click on PREFERENCES and verify
the proper Com Port is selected of the PC for communicating with the CSPLCD Display)
4. Click on the command string to be tested on the left-hand side of the RS232 Palette Editor.
Note:
Only commands with the icon will be able to be tested.
5. The Device or Component connected should respond accordingly. If not, check the command string
entered and port settings in the Test RS232 Settings window. If still having problems see the
Trouble Shooting section to verify RS232 communication.
6. Test all Command Stings in this fashion before placing into a Palette File.
CREATING AN RS232 PALETTE FILE
A Palette File is a file of learned commands that is ready to be placed onto the CSPLCD Display under a GTL
button. These files can be shared with the CM8X8/MRC88 system as well as all future versions of Universal
Dragon RS232 capable products. Therefore the procedure of learning and testing these commands and
creating the Palette file for an individual source component only needs to be done once. This file can now be
added to a library of files that you create or download from our web site and used at any time in the future for
later projects.
1. After Dragon has learned the commands for that Source, select “ADD>>”. The ADD button text will turn
red.
2. Click on a function (i.e. PLAY) to be added to the palette. A “NEW PALETTE” window will open. Type in
a file name (i.e. Escient-CD) and click “SAVE”.
3. “PLAY” will appear in the right-hand side of the Palette Editor window with the icon.
