Setting Up
Communications
in a DriveTools32
Application
Before a DriveTools32 application can communicate with a drive, you must
configure the application.
Important:
DriveTools32 can support only one type of serial connection at a
communications port at a time. If you have previously configured a serial
connection to a SCANport-compatible drive, click
Delete
in the
Communications Setup
dialog box to delete that configuration. You must then
restart the application.
To configure a DriveTools32 application, you need to:
1.
Start the DriveTools32 application.
2.
In the
Options
menu, select
Communication Setup
. The
Communication
Setup
dialog box appears.
3.
Click the
Serial
tab.
4.
Under
Connect Type
, select
RS-232 To 1395 Drive using a converter
.
5.
In the
Enter Serial Communication Port
field, type the serial
communications port number that is being used on your computer.
6.
In the
Enter The Port Baud Rate
field, type the baud rate that your
communications port and 1300-ITSSC communications module are using.
You can choose either 2400 or 4800 baud.
7.
In the
DTR Pulse Delay (0 to calculate automatically)
field, type
0
.
Important:
If the transmission of your computer is too fast for the 1300-ITSSC
adapter, you will have to increase the value for DTR Pulse Delay. Start at 4000
and increase the value by increments of 1000 until communications work.
