The PIcon II has on-board diagnostics which are helpful in solving problems encountered in the
field. Below are some standard diagnostic functions, which are described later in this section:
• Show Dispenser Information
• Display Version Information
• Download Print Header
• Configure Dispenser Settings
To access diagnostics, a computer running a terminal emulation software such as Hyperterm for
Windows is required. Note: A standard A to B USB cable is used to connect the terminal device
to the diagnostic port, not a null modem cable. See Diagram: PIcon II Port Layout for
connector locations. The diagnostic port is a serial port with the following connection
parameters.
• Baud Rate 57,600
• Data Bits 8
• Parity None
• Stop Bits 1
• Flow Control None
