To use DSP-LINK to configure a PC’s serial port and establish communications,
proceed as follows:
1. Use the serial interface cable provided to connect the test tool to the PC.
2. Start the DSP-LINK program on the PC.
3. Click on Setup.
4. Select the following:
(a) the baud rate that matches the test tool’s baud rate setting;
(b) the PC serial port number that is connected to the test tool;
(c) and the flow control that matches the test tool’s flow control setting.
5. Click on Connect.
When communication is established, the Setup menu closes and the bottom of the
main DSP-LINK menu shows which COM port and baud rate are in use.
Communication Problems
If DSP-LINK cannot connect to the test tool, check the following:
•
Verify that the baud rates and flow control protocols are the same for the test
tool and the PC.
•
Verify that the test tool is connected to the COM port selected on the DSP-
LINK Setup menu. If you are not sure which port number you are connected
to, change the COM number on the Setup menu and try again.
•
Verify that the interface cable is securely connected to the test tool and to the
selected serial port on the PC.
•
If you are not using the cable provided, verify that the cable’s pin assignment
matches the pin assignment given for the serial PC interface cable given in
“Specifications” in Chapter 8.
•
If the PC still can’t connect, set the test tool and the PC to a lower baud rate
and try again.
