2.1 Inspection
The Micro488/p was carefully inspected, both mechanically and electrically, prior to
shipment. When you receive the interface, carefully unpack all items from the
shipping carton and check for any obvious signs of physical damage which may
have occurred during shipment. Immediately report any such damage found to the
shipping agent. Remember to retain all shipping materials in the event that shipment
back to the factory becomes necessary.
Every Micro488/p is shipped with the following....
• Micro488/p IEEE488 Bus Controller
• Micro488/p User’s Manual, p/n 232-0901
2.2 Serial Configuration
Some of the Micro488/p serial communication parameters are pre-configured, and
can not be changed. The following list describes the parameters which are fixed
and, therefore, can not be changed:
Parameter Setting
Data Bits 8 Bit ASCII
Stop Bits 1 or 2
Parity None
Receive Terminator
CR
The rest of the parameters are configured through software, after power on.
The following is a list of the software-configurable parameters:
Parameter Setting
Baud Rate 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
Duplex Full with echo/no-echo
Transmit Terminator LF, CR, LF-CR, CR-LF
