Configuring Unit Properties

Using the Unit Properties window, you can configure the unit’s communication and

security properties in addition to general unit properties such as name and type. The

Unit Properties window automatically opens when you manually add a unit to the

site. You can also right-click the unit icon in the site pane and click Unit Properties.

To configure Unit Properties

Type a descriptive

Unit Name in the space provided. The Unit Identification

and Firmware Version will be supplied by the unit when a connection is made.

If you have already established a connection with the site, the Device

ID will be assigned. Otherwise, select the

Device ID that matches the ID you

assigned the unit via the front-panel LCD menu.

Device IDs ensure the software will sync up with the proper unit when there

are multiple PSR1212s on a network.

3. Select

the

Unit Type (default is slave). See page 12 for more information.

4. Select an input, output, or processing channel to be the

Default Meter on

the front panel meter LED when a channel is not specifically selected.

5. Select

the

Meter Refresh Rate, which determines how quickly the

PSR1212 updates meter information (default is 100ms; range is

50–1000ms).

6. Click

the

Comm tab. The Baud Rate and Flow Control settings are supplied

by the unit when a connection is made. These settings are changed using the

Site Properties window (see page 23).

7. Set

the

Serial Echo (default On) and the Serial Mode (default Text).

Serial Echo echos back commands sent over the PSR1212 network. The

serial mode determines the format in which the commands return—

text or

binary. The mode defaults to Binary when G-Ware is connected and to Text

when disconnected. Contact technical support for instructions on using Binary

mode.
