Bard TCS22-***-003 manual Creating a New Project & Establishing Communications

To configure settings for the direct communications, start the ASI Expert program and go to Options System options on the menu bar. Under the baud rate portion of the screen, set the baud rate to 9600 Baud. Set the COM Port to match the COM Port number you are using to connect directly to the controller. Make sure “Use 2 stop bits” is NOT checked. Set response time out to 800.

Communications can now be established with the controller either directly or remotely via a modem. For direct communication, a cable should be connected between the computer Com port specified in the above step and to the 9 pin RS-232 Monitor port of the TCS direct digital controller. The cable end connecting to the TCS must be a 9 pin male connecter. The computer end of the cable will depend on the configuration of the computer COM port.

6.3.2.2 Creating a New Project & Establishing Communications

A project must be created for each TCS controller. To create a new project, double click on New ASI Project by the red arrow in the Project Folder portion of the screen. A Create New Project window will appear.
