Section 10. Utilities
10.2.2 Main DevConfig Screen
The DevConfig window is divided into two main sections: the device selection
panel on the left side and tabs on the right side. After choosing a device on the
left, you will then have a list of the serial ports (COM1, COM2, etc.) installed
on your PC. You’ll be offered a choice of baud rates only if the device
supports more than one baud rate in its configuration protocol. The page for
each device presents instructions about how to set up the device to
communicate with DevConfig. Different device types will offer one or more
tabs on the right.
When the user presses the Connect button, the device type, serial port, and
baud rate selector controls become disabled and, if DevConfig is able to
connect to the device, the button will change from Connect to Disconnect.
The tabs on the right side of the window will be replaced with tabs that
represent the various operations that are available for that device in a
connected state. These operations can vary from device to device.
Two common operations are sending a new operating system and
communicating with a device in terminal emulation mode. These two
operations are covered below. Refer to DevConfig’s embedded help or the
user manual for a device for more device-specific operations.
