DIAGNOSTICS
Features and Operation of the Omega JR Diagnostic Port
Configuration settings and data collection are available to the user through the Omega JR’s built-in
diagnostic port, which is physically located on the front panel of the Omega JR. Refer to Diagram:
Omega JR Front Panel View. Accessing the diagnostic port requires a computer running a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerm. Physical connection is made using a USB cable. Once the
connection is established, power up the Omega JR and a list of menu options will appear. To view a
help menu, type a question mark (?) at the prompt.
Diagnostics is used to configure the brand(s) of dispensers that the Omega JR controls. Refer to
Configuring the Dispenser Brand section below. This is also where dispenser-specific settings can be
configured. Refer to Configuring Dispenser-Specific Settings section below. If you have more
questions regarding the Diagnostics, please call your distributor.
The terminal emulation program must be set to the following parameters to work properly.
Baud rate 57600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
Terminal emulation setting ANSI
Note: HyperTerm no longer comes pre-loaded with Windows operating systems newer than XP.

Enter Security Code-> prompt.) Press Enter.
