Using Revolution 41
5.2 Saving and Transferring Data
Revolution ®
has a module to save and transfer data. It is the preferred method over using ProComm or Hyper
Terminal.
5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the selected port. The PC must be running a
communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS
® .
When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL
menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC.
To save all configuration data, first put your communications program into data capture mode, then place the
indicator in configuration mode and send the DUMPALL command to the indicator. The 480 responds by sending
all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.
5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC or disc can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful
when a number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.
To download configuration data, connect the PC to the selected port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the
indicator in configuration mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to
the indicator. When transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0.
