4.2. Configure SetUp Switches
The SetUp Switches are used to select default settings for the
APS RS232 ports. The SetUp Switches are located on the
APS-8M back panel, as shown in Figure 2.1.
When the APS-8M is shipped from the factory, the SetUp
Switches are configured for 9600 baud, 8 Bits-No Parity,
RTS/CTS handshaking, verbose command response, and
command echo on (all switches ON). These settings are
compatible with most applications. If the default settings are not
compatible with your application, change the switch settings
as follows.
Notes:
·
The SetUp Switches should be configured to match
the parameters your control device will use when
communicating with the APS-8M. This will ensure
access to command functions, even if the unit is
reset to default parameters.
·
If the SetUp Switch configuration is changed, new
parameters will not take effect until the unit is
reinitialized as described in Section 4.3.
· Operating parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) can
be selected for each port using the /P command as
described in Section 5.5. The /P command can
select different parameters for each APS port.
·
When the APS is initialized, parameters will return
to settings specified by the SetUp Switches.
