Appendix A. Driver Notes

Appendix A.1. Continuous Map Descriptors

RS View has been known to crash if it tries to read a Server mapping that is discontinuous.

e.g.	Server map 1:	N21:	0-31
	Server map 2:	N21:	32-100

This will panic the FieldServer and crash RS view as the DF1 will attempt to map N21: 0-100

If set up as:

Server Map 1: N21: 0-100 No problems are experienced

Appendix A.2. Checksum

You can now specify a checksum parameter for the serial connection. The heading keyword is "Checksum" and the possible values are

1) BCC or 2) CRC-16

If nothing is specified it defaults to BCC.

Example:

Connections
Port,	Baud,	Protocol,	Checksum
P1,	9600,	DF1_FD,	CRC-16

The Checksum is valid for both DF1_FD and DF1_HD.
