Configuring the Serial Converter

With DriveExplorer software, you can edit parameters in both the serial
converter and the connected product. On a PowerFlex drive (or other
DPI product), you can also edit parameters in any of the attached
peripherals. DriveExplorer Lite is shipped with the serial converter. It is
a free, limited-feature version of DriveExplorer.
