If DSP-LINK cannot connect to the test tool, check the following:

∙Verify that the baud rates and flow control protocols are the same for the test tool and the PC.

∙Verify that the test tool is connected to the COM port selected on the DSP- LINK Setup menu. If you are not sure which port number you are connected to, change the COM number on the Setup menu and try again.

∙Verify that the interface cable is securely connected to the test tool and to the selected serial port on the PC.

∙If you are not using the cable provided, verify that the cable’s pin assignment matches the pin assignment given for the serial PC interface cable given in “Specifications” in Chapter 8.

∙If the PC still can’t connect, set the test tool and the PC to a lower baud rate and try again.
