RS-232 Command (Outbound Serial Control)

The C4630 SE can issue macros containing outbound serial control strings to a device in the system via its RS-232 connector (see Figure 13, on page 17).

To create an RS-232 macro command set the following parameters and then drag the icon into the Macro Window (see Figure 57):

Baud Rate — Select the correct baud rate from the drop-down box for the device being communicated with.

Format — Select the appropriate format from the drop-down box for the serial line of the device being communicated with:

8N1	= eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
7E1	= seven data bits, even parity, one stop bit
7O1	= seven data bits, odd parity, one stop bit
7M1	=	seven data bits, mark parity, one stop bit
7S1	=	seven data bits, space parity, one stop bit

Once the proper command is in the STRING window drag the icon into the Macro Window.
