8.5.10 Searching for a Device

This function

is used to search for connected devices on the interfaces

that have been set up.

A device that has been found will be added to the list if:

- the connection settings have not yet been used

(e.g. for another device address or another baud rate) or

- the device identifier cannot be matched to any of the existing entries in the

list.

H

By pressing the Shift or Ctrl key and the left mouse button you can
search through several interfaces for connected devices using one
or several baud rates. Depending on the setting, the search
procedure may take some time.

A

When using the connection via the setup interface, no search should
be made through an address area, since the search could find a
device and make an entry for every address, even though there is
only one device connection. Some devices ignore the device
address on the setup interface.

Depending on the communication interface that is used, the
appropriate valid dialog will be brought up on the screen. The
example shows the dialog for using the serial interface.

The search covers the
addresses 1 to 255 for
the COM1 and COM2
ports.
