The serial command protocol used by PASHA is human-readable ASCII, so you can test and debug PASHA control of a specific project using just a Windows-based PC with a spare serial port – MediaMatrix hardware is not required. When emulating a MediaMatrix node using NWare on a PC, the PC serial ports can simulate the PASHA behavior on the node.
Note: If you want to use RS-485/422 with your PC, it must be fitted with an RS-485/422 serial interface card on COM1, or you need to use an interface converter device plugged into the COM-1 RS-232 port.
