Diagnostic Test 1: Serial Com Port 1 - Display Input Data
This test displays serial data as it is received by serial communications port 1. The numeric
display has limited alpha display capability, however numeric and some alpha characters are
legible. If all data being received is unintelligible, the baud rate is probably incorrect. If nothing
is displayed on the display, then check the following:
1. RS232/Current switch on the main circuit board.
2. Cabling between the communicating units.
3. Make sure the sending unit is actually sending data.
Diagnostic Test 2: Serial Com Port 1 – Display Errors
This test displays the number of framing and parity errors that are detected in the input data
stream. The the error count is set to zero when entering this test. New errors are displayed as
"PxxFxx" where Pxx is the number of parity errors and Fxx is the number of framing errors. If
the error count exceeds 99, the display will remain at 99.
