1.4 Making a connection
The easiest way to connect to the ScaleCore device is the auto detect feature. Select File / Auto Detect and the
ScETTR will automatically scan all available serial ports for any attached ScaleCore devices. From the results
display, select a device and press the
Open button.
To manually connect to a ScaleCore product, select File / Open Connection . ScETTR will display the connection
parameters. Typical serial connection parameters are:
Baud Rate 9600 baud
Parity None
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control None
Enter the serial port name of the local computer serial port and press OK to open the connection. Note, the last used
connection parameters will be automatically filled in for convenience.
1.5 Connection State
When a connection is first opened, the connection will transition to the searching state. This means the ScETTR
application is polling the communications interface for an attached ScaleCore device. When a device is found (a
response is received), ScETTR will transition to the
discovery sate. During this state, ScETTR is reading the device
configuration. After the device configuration has been read, ScETTR will transition to the normal state. At this
point, the interface is ready to use.
Note
The ScETTR state is displayed on the lower left status bar.
1.6 View
The ScETTR program is designed to provide all information about the current tension test in a single interface. The
center of the display shows the
VirtualMeter and TensionTestInterface . Each side of the display include relevant
parameters about the TestConditions that can be conveniently edited for each new test.
