Using the Virtual Serial Port

The PinPoint X is equipped with a USB port which increases the methods by which you can send and receive data. The USB port can be set to work as either an Ethernet port or a virtual serial port. A driver installation is required to use the USB port in either mode.

Note: It is recommended that you use a USB 2.0 cable with your PinPoint X and connect directly to your computer for best throughput.

Changing the USB port communication

The command to change the port configuration is *USBDEVICE and it is in the USB group of AceManager.

Figure 6-1: AceManager : USB

By default, the port is set to work as a virtual Ethernet port (*USBDEVICE=1).

To change the USB port to allow virtual serial port communi‐ cation, disable the Ethernet port emulation, set *USBDEVICE to 0.

Note: If you use a terminal connection with the USB port to change *USBDEVICE, the change is immediate. Your connection will be terminated after inputting the command.
