Configuring GOES Satellite
Transmitter
This section describes the configuration of communication ports, log
groups, reports, transmitter, and timers with Lizard Setup Software.
Hardware Setup
The GOES satellite transmitter is connected to an RS-232
communication port. It is recommended that you use a DSU232
communication module to keep the COM0 port free for service use. The
port can be configured in the Optional hardware view of Lizard Setup
Software. The configuration options are as follows:
1. Under Service connection, leave the Service connection enabled
option unselected.
2. Under Line parameters, enter the following values:
- Speed: 9600
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bit: 1
- Parity: None
3. Under Handshake options, leave all options unselected.
4. Under Transmit control, set the options as follows:
- Tx control enabled must be selected.
- Under RTS polarity, select Normal.
- RTS on before TX can be left to its default value of 50 ms.
- RTS off after TX should be set to 3000 ms.
5. Under Buffers, use the default value of 4096 bytes both for
Transmit and Receive.
Adding Device
In the Device view, add QST101/102 to the setup and connect it to the
first channel (MOD1/1) of the DSU232 communication module.
