4.0 UART Communication
ECUsim 5100 features a USB connection. On a Windows or Linux PC, the
drivers create virtual COM ports which allow communication using any
suitable serial port terminal (e.g., HyperTerminal).
Set PIM ALL switch to OFF
In order to communicate with a PIM, the PIM ALL switch must be
in the “up” (off) position.
4.1 Installing USB Drivers
To communicate with the ECUsim, make sure it is powered on, and connect it
to any available USB port. If the operating system does not find & install the
drivers automatically, you can download them from FTDI’s website.

4.2 Terminal Setup
Almost any serial port terminal emulation program can be used to
communicate with the ECUsim. Some of the popular terminals include the
HyperTerminal, RealTerm, and TeraTerm.
The default communication settings are:
 Baud rate: 115200 bps
 Data bits: 8
 Parity: none
 Stop bits: 1
Turn off local echo
ECUsim echoes back what you type, so you may want to turn off
local echo to avoid “seeing double.”
