5.2.1 Initial connection
When initially launching StudioPrime:
If using the PNI dual-connecterized cable, ensure the batteries are well-charged
and the cable is securely attached to the Prime and the PC’s serial port.
Select the serial port the module is plugged into, which is generally COM 1.
Select 38400 as the baud rate.
Click the button if the connection is not automatically made.
Once a connection is made the “Connected” light will turn green and the module’s
firmware version and serial number will be displayed in the upper left.
5.2.2 Changing baud rate
To change the baud rate:
In the Module box, select the new desired baud rate for the module.
Click the button. The button will change to read .
In the Computer box, select same baud rate for the computer.
Click on the button. The button will revert back to .
Note: While it is possible to select a baud rate of 230400, the serial port will not operate this fast.
5.2.3 Changing modules
Once a connection has been made, StudioPrime will recall the last settings. If a different
module is used, click the button once the new module is attached. This will
reestablish a connection assuming the baud rate is unchanged.
