Bay Technical Associates V79 PDI-1, V80 PDI-2 owner manual MENU-DRIVEN Configuration

If you issue the RL1<cr> command (Report Event Latch Data for Channel 1), the module will respond with a message showing the state of the input that started the initial event. This will be "1" (closed) for LO to HI Latch Polarity or "0" (open) for HI to LO Latch Polarity if using the PDI-1. This will be "1" (voltage detected) for LO to HI Latch Polartiy or "0" (no voltage detected) for HI to LO Latch Polarity if using the PDI-2. If time tagging is enabled, the time the initial event occurred will be appended to the event sample.

5 CONFIGURATION

You may program the PDI-1 or PDI-2 using a menu-driven configuration procedure from a host module or the M Series service port as described in Section

5.1or by sending dynamic configuration commands from a host module as described in Section 5.2. You may view the current configuration from the front panel (see Section 5.3).

5.1MENU-DRIVEN CONFIGURATION

To access the menu-driven configuration mode of the PDI-1 or PDI-2 from any host module, use the following procedure:

1.Configure the host terminal's serial parameters to match those of the host module. From the factory, the host module is set at

9600 baud, 8 bit word size, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF disabled. If you do not have a dumb terminal or a terminal emulation program, BayTech supplies a utility diskette which includes software to put an IBM PC or compatible into a terminal mode (TERM.EXE).

2.Connect to the PDI by sending the port select code, the appropriate Unit Number followed by a colon (1: to 30: - only if using cascaded units), the desired module number (2 to 16), and Carriage Return or Line Feed.

3.Access configuration mode by sending $CONFIG<cr>.
