Comm Port Operations

PVI-to-PVI: Use this selection if the PVI-65 is being used to connect
to another Pointmaker system.

1.

Select the appropriate device type in the Device Select dialog for the
port where you are connecting the other system
(See “Designating a
Device Type” on page 54)
.

Where a question mark is usually found, you will instead see an
arrow.

NOTE: If the device type you desire for connecting to other systems
is unavailable, check to see if it is assigned to another port. Remem-
ber, only one use of each is allowed.

2.

Activate the arrow next to the device type to set its communication
parameters.

The corresponding dialog appears.

Select the desired baud rate, parity, and stop bits.

NOTE: Factory settings are 9600 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit. Data bits,
which cannot be manually set, are 8 data bits.

3.

Exit the menu system and recycle the power on the PVI-65.

The PVI-65 implements the new settings.
