The FlexTest SE and FlexTest 40/60/100/200 Controllers do not support RSCs.
Description Item
The Remote Station Controller (RSC) is a table-top, stand-mounted,
or hand-held device that is primarily used for specimen installation Remote Station Control
icon
and the starting and stopping of tests. A GRES III board is needed
to support an RSC in your system.
Remote Station Controllers are not available with the optional 6 or
8-station system configurations
The FlexTest IIm/CTC controller can support an RSC for each station
(for a total of four RSCs) on the 498 RS-485 Transition Board.
Name: Specifies the desired resource name. Changing this name
will not cause file conflicts.
Host Port: The host port entry specifies which Com port on the GRES
III plug-in board the Model 493.71 Serial Interface transition board
port is mapped to. (This determines which port the RSC must be
plugged into.)
Interlock: Specifies the interlock chain number. By default, the
interlock chain number and the RSC number are equal. If you want
to map an RSC with a different interlock chain (if available), change
this value.
How to Add Remote Station Controls (RSC)
Before you can add RSC or Handsets, you must add a GRES III board or 494.47 Dual
UART/Encoder mezzanine card.
