Operation
CAUTION: The PDM may get very hot, do not touch the PDM during
operation.
To perform any of the activities in the Online menu, the PC needs to
communicate with the PDM.
When a configuration file is open in PDM Manager, it will connect to the PDM
with the matching serial number.
If there is no file open, all connected PDMs will be displayed. PDM Manager
can be connected to a selected PDM.
CAN Bus Bitrate
The PDM can be configured to operate at CAN bit rates of 250Kbps, 500Kbps
or 1Mbps.
PDM manager includes a CAN bitrate conversion tool in the Tools > Options >
Communications menu. This tool configures the CAN bitrate and restarts the
PDM at the new rate.
Note: During the conversion process, all CAN devices must be removed from
the CAN bus except for the PDM and the UTC.
PDM Manager must be configured (in the Tools>Options>Communications
menu) to match the PDM CAN bit rate.
