The Windows

®

-based Kramer control software

16.2 Kramer Protocol 3000

operates with protocol 2000. If

the VP-16x18AK is set to protocol 3000, it is automatically switched to protocol

2000.

This RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol lets you control the machine
from any standard terminal software (for example, Windows®
HyperTerminal Application) and uses a data rate of 115200 baud, with no
parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
