ECHO
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 20) Display shows "StOREd" stored message momentarily and then advances to the
"ECHO" Line Feed setting submenu.
• When valid commands are sent to the instrument, this determines whether the command
will be echoed to the Serial Bus. Use of "ECHO" is recommended in most situations,
especially to help verify that data was received and recognized by the controller.
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 21) Display flashes "yES" Yes (enable Echo responding from controller) option as default
or previous selection.
Press ‘▲/MAX’ 22) Scroll through or select either two available options: "yES" to enable Echo response
or "NO" to disable Echo response from Controller to Serial Bus.
StNd
Serial Communication Interface Standard Submenu:
The following are the supported Communication Interface Standards: RS-232, RS-485 Half duplex and RS-485 Full
duplex.
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 23) Display shows "StOREd" stored message momentarily and then advances to the
"StNd" Serial Communication Interface Standard submenu.
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 24) Display flashes "RS-232" RS-232 Serial Communication Interface Standard as default
or previous selection.
Press ‘▲/MAX’ 25) Scroll or select only two types: "RS-232" Standard of Point-to-Point Operation Class
(one meter) or "RS-485" RS-485 Standard of Multi-Point Operation Class (more than one
meter) for your choice of Communication Operation Class.
• "RS-232" RS-232 Standard is Point-to-Point Operation Class which supports full duplex,
direct connection between two (and only two) devices for data exchanges, short
distances and moderate data rate such as the meter and your digital computer. No
addresses are used unless the meter is programmed for a "one meter bus".
• This controller, whether is setup with default RS-232 Serial Communication or not, must
be inspected visually for proper jumper configuration of Communication RS232/RS485
Standard on Communication Option Board And match it with this Menu Configuration
before attempting to communicate. Refer to Serial Communication Option Manual.
• "RS-485" Standard of Multi-Point Communication Operation Class shared wiring for a
Data Terminal Equipment (DTE as host device or computer) and more than one Data
Communication Equipment (DCE as meter/controller with compatible communications),
designates a "Bus". Several panel meters and a personal computer can share a bus,
with the computer serving as controller. The controller can acquire data by transmitting
the preassigned address for a meter followed by a command for the meter to send
selected information. When used, the meter (up to 32 meters) can share a bus (with
addresses from 0 to decimal 199); all meters receive the data when the address is "00".
• This "RS-485" option must be setup along with the jumper configuration on the
Communication Option Board to insure proper communication for your selected-
Communication Interface Standard.
MODE
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 26) Display shows "StOREd" stored message momentarily and then advances to the
"MOdE" Data Flow Mode submenu.
• Data Flow Mode determines whether the instrument will wait for commands and data
requests from Serial Bus- as defined as “COMMNd" Command Mode or will send data
automatically and continuously to the Serial Bus-as differently defined as "CONt IN"
Continuous Mode.
• Devices configured for the RS-485 Communication Standard operate properly only under
Command Mode.
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 27) Display flashes "COMMNd" Command Mode as default or previous selection.
Press ‘▲/MAX’
28) Scroll and select either only two available Modes "COMMNd" Command Mode or
"CONt IN" Continuous Mode for your choice of setting.
HNd.SHk
Press ‘RESET/ENTER’ 29) Display shows "StOREd" stored message momentarily and then advances to the
"HNd.SHk" Hand Shake Method submenu.
