COMMUNICATION SELECT
Access Communication Select by pressing
the button above RS232 COMM or RS485
COMM on the Select Menu display.
Unit ID – Valid unit identifiers are the
letters A-Z and @. The identifier allows
you to assign a unique address to each

connected to a single RS-232 or RS-485
computer port.
Press UNIT ID. Use the UP and DOWN
buttons to change the Unit ID. Press SET to
record the ID. Press Reset to return to the
previously recorded Unit ID.
Any Unit ID change will take effect when
Communication Select is exited.
If the symbol @ is selected as the Unit
ID, the device will enter streaming mode
when Communication Select is exited.
See RS-232 Communications (page 37) for
information about the streaming mode.

computer must send/receive data at the
same baud rate. The default baud rate for

Press the Select button until the arrow is
in front of Baud. Use the UP and DOWN
buttons to select the baud rate that
matches your computer. The choices are
38400, 19200, 9600, or 2400 baud.
Any baud rate change will not take effect
until power to the unit is cycled.
