2-22 Basic Analyzer Operations

Note

The transfer is performed via direct computer to analyzer

hook-up using a Model 639 communications cable. This cable

is supplied as standard equipment with the analyzer (no

modem is required). When Host PC Load/Dump is selected,

the analyzer automatically awaits signals from the computer to

begin transferring stored job(s) data. A screen stating that the

analyzer is awaiting host commands will be displayed. This

screen will be displayed until the time needed for all retries has

been used up. At that point, a communications error message

will be displayed.

Communications Setup

The Communications Setup menu is used to conﬁgure the communications

port of the analyzer.

Select the Baud Rate from 76.8K, 38.4K, 19.2K, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, or

300 baud. For rapid data transfer, select the highest baud rate possible, con-

sistent with the capabilities of the host computer equipment.

Set the Stop Bit option at One or Two.

The Timeout option controls the amount of time (selectable from 0 through

99.9 seconds) that the analyzer will wait for the computer to respond before

aborting the procedure and trying again. Entering a value of zero will dis-

able this feature.
