Setting Up RS232 Communications Port
The TransPort can transmit stored data and displayed readings
using the RS232 communications port. The TransPort can also
receive and execute commands remotely using a serial interface
device such as a personal computer.
To use the communications port, make connections as described
in Chapter 2, Initial Setup (refer to Appendix C for more
information on cables). Once you have connected the serial
device, you must select the proper settings using the
COMMunication option. The default settings for communications
are as follows:
• Baud Rate: 9600
• Word Length: 8 bits
• Parity: None
To change these settings, use the [←] [→] keys to scroll until
“COMM” appears on the screen and press [F2]. The screen
appears similar to Figure 3-8. The indicator box shows you are at
the beginning of the COMMunication option. Refer to Appendix
D, Menu Maps, Figure D-1K for a flow diagram of the
COMMunication option.
