4.0 UART Communication


ECUsim 2000 features a USB connection. On a Windows or Linux PC, the
drivers create a virtual COM port which allows communication using any
suitable serial port terminal (e.g., HyperTerminal).

4.1 Installing USB Drivers


To communicate with the ECUsim 2000, make sure it is powered on, and
connect it to any available USB port. If the operating system does not find &
install the drivers automatically, you can download them from FTDI’s website.

4.2 Terminal Setup


Almost any serial port terminal emulator program can be used to
communicate with the ECUsim. Some of the popular terminals include the
HyperTerminal, RealTerm, and TeraTerm.

The default communication settings are:

 Baud rate: 115200 bps
 Data bits: 8
 Parity: none
 Stop bits: 1

Turn off local echo
ECUsim echoes back what you type, so you may want to turn off
local echo in your terminal to avoid “seeing double.”
