This chapter shows how to use the DL20 Offline Programmer to configure:
•
Serial communication port of your computer
•
Serial port of the DL20
•

•
Special functions of the DL20
The Main Menu has one function that configures the serial port of your
computer and three functions that configure the DL20 ports and DL20
special functions.
Functions 3, 4 and 5 create the following files which are downloaded with
messages to the DL20:
3 – Set Up DL20 Serial Port Creates IOFILE.DAT
4 – Set Up DL20 Parallel Port Creates PIOFILE.DAT
5 – Set Up DL20 Special Functions Creates MSTRFILE.DAT
The files are stored on disk or in the DL20 subdirectory. You are not allowed
to download messages to the DL20 without these files.
Each configuration function is described in the sections that follow.
