Getting Started

for I-7000 Series Modules

Date: Jan-08, 2002 Version 1.02 page: 15

During startup, the

7000 Utility

reads the “

ICPCON.CFG

” file to get the

COM port, baud rate and checksum information. After startup, the main
window of the

7000 Utility

comes on and uses this information to

automatically start the searching process.

The 7000 Utility tests for a range of COM ports and baud rates in order

to search for the connected I-7000 series modules. If it fails to read the

ICPCON

.

CFG

“ file (for example, if it does not exist), the default setting for

the COM port is 2, the baud rate is 9600 and checksum is enabled. This
means that the search process would be limited to

COM2

and the baud rate

speed would be 9600.

When quitting the

7000UTIL.EXE

, the selected COM port numbers,

baud rates and checksum settings are stored into the “

ICPCON.CFG

” file.
