5.6 Settings Editor
The Settings Editor in DevConfig can also be used to enter the Deployment
parameters (see FIGURE 5-2). Refer to Section 5.2, Deployment Tab, and
Section 5.3, Data Monitor, for a description of the setting parameters.
5.7 Terminal
You can monitor the AVW200 with terminal commands via the terminal
emulator in DevConfig or LoggerNet. You can also use a terminal emulator,
such as HyperTerminal or ProComm.
To enter terminal commands, first connect the RS-232 port of the AVW200 to
a serial port on your computer using the 10873 RS-232 cable (shipped with the
AVW200). After specifying the appropriate COM port (port to which the
AVW is attached) and communication baud rate (AVW baud rate = 38400),
press Carriage Return (CR) four times or until the AVW200> is returned. A
description of the available terminal commands and the values returned for
each command are listed in the TABLE 5-2.
