can be used to determine if the unit is operating properly.

3.1. Communication Parameters

The Option Switches, located on the instrument back panel, select default operating settings. Switch functions are summarized in Section 4.2, and on a label on the CMS unit.

When the unit is shipped from the factory, the Option Switches are set for 9600 baud, 8 Bits-No Parity, RTS/CTS handshaking, verbose response, and command echo ON (all switches Down).

For this overview only, use the default switch configuration. Set your communications program (e.g. ProComm©) to the parameters listed below. After completing this overview and installing the unit, please refer to Section 5 for instructions on selecting faster communication speeds and other parameters.

●9600 Baud

●RTS/CTS Handshaking

●Full Duplex (Command Echo ON)

●8 Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit

Using Other Parameters for this Overview (Optional):

If desired, the CMS can match the parameters used by your communications program. Refer to Section 4.2 and configure Option Switches accordingly. After changing the switches, reset the CMS; press and hold both the SET and CLEAR buttons, release only CLEAR, wait for the Port LEDs to flash, and then release the SET button.

Note: If Option Switches are changed, new settings will not take effect until the unit is reset.

3.2. Apply Power to the CMS

Connect the CMS to an appropriate power source. Press the Power Switch ON. The ON LED should light, and the RDY LED should begin to flash. When connecting power to a DC unit, please refer to the additional instructions in Section 4.1.

CAUTION: This device should only be operated with the type of power source indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of power service available, please consult your local power company.

3.3. System SetUp Ports

In order to ensure access to important command functions, Ports 1 and 2 are designated as System SetUp Ports; the Supervisor Mode cannot be disabled at these ports. Ports 1 and 2 will always allow password protected access to all CMS command functions, even when the unit has been reset to the default state.
