Comms Type: TCP |
|
IP address |
The IP address of the device you want to contact. This value can be edited. |
IP port |
The port number on which the device will listen for data transmissions from other devices. This setting must match the port number used by the transmitting device. The default is 0. The valid range is 0-65535. |
Status |
The current status of device. |
Listening |
Lit (green) when the device is operational and waiting for data to arrive. |
Clear Counters |
Resets all the counters at the bottom of the tab. |
Bytes In |
The number of bytes received by the device. |
Bytes Out |
The number of bytes transmitted by the device. |
Activity |
Lit yellow when data is being transmitted or received. |
Comms Type: Serial |
||
Comm port |
The comm port and serial protocol to use for data transfer. |
|
Bits per sec |
The baud rate (speed) for data transfer. |
|
Data bits |
The number of data bits in each character. Baudot uses 5, true ASCII uses 7. We recommend using 8, as this can be used for any type of data. |
|
Parity |
Specifies that an extra bit is to be included in the data transmission. This can be used for error detection. |
|
none |
No parity bit is sent. Error detection is handled by the communication protocol. |
|
even |
The parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in the set of bits is odd, therefore making the number of ones even. |
|
odd |
The parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in the set of bits is even, therefore making the number of ones odd. |
|
mark |
Parity bit is always set to the mark signal condition (logical 1). |
|
space |
Parity bit is always set to the space signal condition. |
|
Stop bits |
Bits sent at the end of every character to signify the end of the character in the data transmission. Normally, 1 stop bit is used. |
|
Rear mode |
The operating mode for a data port that supports more than one mode. For example, RS-422 or RS-485. |
|
Status |
The current status of device. |
|
Listening |
Lit (green) when the device is operational and waiting for data to arrive. |
|
Clear Counters |
Resets all the counters at the bottom of the tab. |
|
Bytes In |
The number of bytes received by the device. |
|
Bytes Out |
The number of bytes transmitted by the device. |
|
Activity |
Lit yellow when data is being transmitted or received. |
