2.1.5 Setup/Configuration Screen Operation
The Setup/Configuration Screen (Figure 8) allows various program parameters to be adjusted,
saved, and applied. A Setup Help screen located on the right side of the dialog describes most
of the controls and their functions. More detail on each control is provided here:
2.1.5.1 Configuration & COM Setup
• COM Port – This control allows selection of the desired COM port (ports 1 - 4 are
currently supported).
• Rated System Power – Use this control to select the rated system output power (not
the operating power). This setting is required by the Amplifier Gain Check procedure in
order to know how many amps are available.
• COM Timeout – SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED. If COM lockouts occur,
suspect a cable/COM connection problem. Timeouts will occasionally occur, but if they
do not cause a COM lockout, they should be ignored. The program has built-in handling
for these timeout errors and will automatically recover.
