Transmitting and receiving Data
Setting Up the Serial Port
The serial port can be used to transmit data
between the H8000FW and a computer. It is an
IBM PC type RS232 connector, which looks like
a modem or printer to a connected computer.
You can set up the serial port’s parameters on the "third" midi menu page in the SETUP
area. Repeatedly press the midi SOFT KEY until you see the menu page shown to the
right.
The first parameter, serial, determines whether the serial port is enabled or disabled.
If set to disabled, messages will neither be sent out the serial port nor accepted at the
serial port. The second parameter, baud rate, determines the speed at which messages
will be sent out the serial port and the speed at which the H8000FW expects to receive
messages at the serial port. Similarly, data bits, stop bits, and parity all describe
aspects of the messages sent out the serial port and aspects of the messages that the
H8000FW expects to receive at the serial port.
For things to work properly, these last four parameters must be set to the same values on
both the H8000FW and the machine connected to the serial port. Higher baud rates
result in faster transmission times, but most machines have a ceiling above which errors
occur. So, set the
baud rate to the highest value you can on both the H8000FW and the
machine connected to its serial port that results in error-free transmissions.
The
data bits are normally set at 8, the stop bits are normally set at 2, and the parity is
normally set at
none. You should only need to stray from these values if the device the
H8000FW is communicating with is constrained to some other values. If that is the case,
change the values on the H8000FW to match the other device.
To aid in troubleshooting, the
BUSY LED will illuminate when data is transferred at the
serial port, provided no Memory Card is in place. If the serial port is "enabled," messages sent out the
MIDI Out port are also sent out the serial port.
Note: If both the serial port is "enabled" and MIDI is "enabled," a
command received over either the serial port or the MIDI In port causes the port not receiving the command to be ignored until
the command is complete.
