MaxSSD Configuration & Diagnostics Utility
The Sealevel Systems configuration utility, MaxSSD, is designed to simplify the
installation, configuration, and diagnostics of Sealevel I/O modules. MaxSSD is a
Microsoft Windows application and has been tested with Windows 2000, XP, and
Vista.
Host PC Configuration Tab
The first time you run the MaxSSD utility (Start Æ All Programs Æ Sealevel
SeaMAX Æ MaxSSD) it will default to the “Host PC Configuration” tab. This tab
allows the user to choose the initial communication settings for the connected I/O
device. The “COM Port” dropdown box allows the selection of a serial COM port
(from COM1 to COM256), Ethernet (for Ethernet SeaI/O modules), or SeaDAC Lite
(USB).
USB connected SeaI/O and SeaDAC modules are installed as virtual COM ports.
Using device manager, expand “Ports (COM & LPT)” by clicking on the ‘+’ next to
the category, and locate the COM port for your device and use it in the dropdown box
in MaxSSD.
Once a COM port is selected, the baud rate and parity can be selected.
NOTE: The baud rate and parity of the PC must match the settings of the
Sealevel I/O module to be configured. The factory default settings
for all Sealevel I/O modules are 9600 baud and no parity.
