Data Export / Import Procedure - Rev 1.0.0

This appendix defines the steps to perform a Configuration Data Export & Import from the Model 250 projector to a Host Computer. The Host Computer can be any system that has RS232 download and upload capability, including an IBM-PC compatible, an Apple MacIntosh, or a UNIX system. This paper describes the procedures for an IBM-PC running the Windows 3.1 OS. We will use the Windows “TERMINAL” application for communication with the projector. Other Terminal emulation programs can be used (ProComm with Windows 95/98), but all testing has been done with the TERMINAL application.

Note 1: The TERMINAL application setup is the same as for controlling the projector via an ANSI TERMINAL (see section 8-3 Terminals and Protocol).

Note 2: Export/Import can be performed on either Port A or Port B. The Port must be configured for ANSI Terminal. Port A speed is determined by DIP SWITCH #4 on the System Controller board. UP is 9600 baud, DOWN is 19200 Baud. Port B can be configured for 2400, 9600 (default), or 19200 through the Comm Setup Menu. If both Port A and Port B are ANSI Terminals, PORT A must be used for Export/Import, so to use Port B, set Port A Device = None or Switcher, Port B Device = ANSI.

Remember to Power Off (Control+P) and HW RESET (Push RESET button - figure 5-1 in Service Manual- or Circuit Breaker-on rear panel) after changing any configuration parameters.

Configuration CAUTION! If you use 19200 Baud, your computer must have a 16550 UART installed on the Comm Port. An unbuffered 8550 UART will lose data during EXPORT. This data loss cannot be detected until a later IMPORT is attempted. Use 9600 if you are not sure. In all cases use SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL (XON/XOFF).

Manual background CAUTION! Laptop computer users must disable Advance Power Management (APM) during an Export. APM power pulling causes loss of data.
