Getting Started 1-3

Getting Started

To get your A2400 up and running for an initial check-out, connect the unit to a power supply and terminal as shown in Figure 1.2. The power supply can be any dc source from 10 to 30 volts, capable of 1 Watt of power. The terminal can be any RS-232 dumb terminal set for 300 baud. A computer configured as a terminal can also be used. Be sure to ground the DEFAULT* pin.

Figure 1.2 A2400 Quick Hookup.

After checking the connections, power up the A2400. Type the following command on the terminal:

$1RD

Make sure to use upper case characters for the ‘RD’ (Read Data) command and terminate the command with a carriage return. The A2400 should reply with the message:

*+99999.99
