Change Parameters

To change the parameters of the serial interface. This menu allows to select the Port (Signal Source) between EXT.PORT or DIFF.INPUT, the Baud Rate between 300, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600, the Data Bits (Word Length) between 7 or 8, the Parity between even, odd or none, the Stop Bits between 1 or 2, the Polarity between "+" or "-". Default settings are: Port = EXT.PORT, Baud Rate = 4800, Data Bits = 8, Parity = none, Stop Bits = 1, Polarity = +.

Input Data Display

To allow the chart plotter to act as a computer terminal and display the incoming data exactly as it is received.

If the data displayed on the screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong input parameters for your particular receiver, for example, Baud Rate 9600 instead of Baud Rate 4800. Check your receiver manual to be sure that you have selected the proper parameter. If the screen is blank, you may have a broken connection, and no data is being received or you may have connected the device to the other input port.

Use “ZOOM IN” to stop (or continue after pause) data displaying, “ENTER” to show data in hex or ASCII mode (normal or small) and “CLEAR” to exit.
