COMMUNICATION SELECT

Access Communication Select by pressing

the button above RS232 COMM or RS485

COMM on the Select Menu display.
Unit ID – Valid unit identifiers are the

letters A-Z and @. The identifier allows

you to assign a unique address to each

device so that multiple units can be

connected to a single RS-232 or RS-485

computer port.
Press UNIT ID. Use the UP and DOWN

buttons to change the Unit ID. Press SET to

record the ID. Press Reset to return to the

previously recorded Unit ID.

Any Unit ID change will take effect when

Communication Select is exited.

If the symbol @ is selected as the Unit

ID, the device will enter streaming mode

when Communication Select is exited.

See RS-232 Communications (page 23) for

information about the streaming mode.
Baud – Both this instrument and your

computer must send/receive data at the

same baud rate. The default baud rate for

this device is 19200 baud.
Press the Select button until the arrow is

in front of Baud. Use the UP and DOWN

buttons

to select the baud rate that

matches your computer. The choices are

38400, 19200, 9600, or 2400 baud.

Any baud rate change will not take effect

until power to the unit is cycled.
