The PIcon has on-board diagnostics which are helpful in solving problems encountered in the
field. Below are a few of the standard diagnostic functions:
• Show Dispenser Information
• Display Version Numbers
• Monitor a Port
• Download Print Header
• Download Program Update
To access diagnostics, a computer running a terminal emulation software such as Procomm or
Hyperterm for Windows is required. The diagnostic port is a serial port with the following
connection parameters. Note: A standard 9 pin serial cable is used to connect the terminal device
to the diagnostic port, not a null modem cable. See Diagram: PIcon Port Layout for connector
locations.
