After pressing 1 or 0 the EMO-1005 unit goes into the Receiver/Transmitter display mode and the
beginning usually looks as follows:
RXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
TXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
If left in this mode the serial communication can be viewed. The Receiver is on the upper line and the
Transmitter on the lower line.
If the text ORFE is right after the R it means that the unit has an over run/framing error. This error
usually occurs when there is nothing hooked up to the serial port or when the baud rate is not right.
In order to leave the above display mode just press the ENT key. Now the display will show:
CUR OFFSET 000
NEW OFFSET 000
At this point a new offset can be entered ( a number 000 to 256). The offset is necessary if there is
more than one rack mounted unit involved. The channel address is calculated in the following way:
Send Address = Channel Number + Module Offset
Example: If you have two four channel units, unit one will have offset=0, channel # 1 - 4. Unit two
will have offset=4, channel 5 - 10 (Send address Ch(5)=Ch(1) + offset(4)
By pressing the ENT key the unit goes back into display mode.
IMPORTANT!! If you are using only ONE EMO-1005 do NOT enter anything in the OFFSET.
If you do - your serial communication will not work.
