6 - 16THE CPL PROTOCOL

PROGRAM COMMUNICATION

PC

Purpose:

To program baudrate, parity mode, number of data and stopbits and the handshake method for computer communication.

After the command is sent, an <acknowledge> will be returned with the old communication parameters still active.

If the <acknowledge> = 0, the new communication parameters will be valid approximately 0.5 seconds later. The communication parameters are stored in battery backup memory and restored on power-up.

This command performs the same function as the UTILITY + RS232 SETUP menu.

Command:

CR

<baud>

= 75, 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,

 

 

38400

 

<parity>

= O, E or N

 

<data bits>

<handshake>

=

XONXOFF

to enable Xon/Xoff handshake

 

 

HWL

to enable hardwareline handshake

 

 

If left out, both handshake methods are disabled.
