communication with the ATOM BUC or SSPA. The controls in the Controls section of the
User Interface will also be enabled.
If communication cannot be established with the BUC or SSPA, an error message
explaining the problem will be printed in the text field in the Log Output section of the
User Interface. Successful communication will also be indicated in this text field. If
communication with the BUC or SSPA is successfully established, the COM Port drop-
down list, the Re-Scan COM Ports button, and the Initialize button will be disabled and
the Deinitialize button will be enabled.
Deinitializing Communication
Deinitializing the ATOMControl communication interface halts all communication with the
BUC or SSPA, and allows the settings in the Configuration section of the User Interface
to be changed. The communication interface can be deinitialized by pressing the
Deinitialize button in the Configuration section of the User Interface. If the
communication interface is successfully deinitialized, the COM Port drop-down list, the
Re-Scan COM Ports button, and the Initialize button will be enabled and the
Deinitialize button will be disabled. A status message will also be printed in the text field
in the Log Output section of the User Interface. If the communication interface could not
be deinitialized, an error message will be printed in the text field in the Log Output
section of the User Interface.
ATOMControl has been configured to automatically deinitialize the communication
interface when the application is closed.
