Remote Station Controller (RSC) Connections
When equipped with a GRES III plug-in module and a corresponding Series
498 RS-485 transition module, your FlexTest IIm controller can
accommodate up to four remote station controllers (one RSC for each
station).
Each RSC connects to a J50 serial connector on the Series 498 RS-485
transition module. The hwi file defines which connector is used for each
station.
.hwi file additions
In order to use one or more RSCs with your FlexTest controller, two sections
must be added to your .hwi file—an RSC section and a GRES III section.
Note
If you specified RSC support when you ordered your test system,
these sections will be added to your hwi file at the factory.
Note
For information on editing your .hwi file to accommodate RSCs, see
the Hwi File Editor manual.
