Selecting Serial COMM and “Connection at Fixed Baud”

4. Select Connection at Fixed Baud. In the resulting Configuration Settings panel, select the desired

Do not enter a baud rate value that exceeds the maximum baud rate, as specified in
your short-haul modem’s user documentation.

Adjusting the Baud Rate for the “Connection at Fixed Baud Rate” Setting

Note: After this configuration has been downloaded to the LogBook, serial communication can

be performed through the modems. Serial communication can also be made via a direct
serial connection between the PC and LogBook, as long as the baud rates in the PC and
LogBook match.

5. Close the LogBook Hardware Configuration window.

6. Setup the other acquisition parameters, as desired.

7. After the configuration is complete, download it to a PC-Card. The download can be done in

either of two ways:

(a) with the PC-Card in the PC’s socket or
(b) with the PC-Card in a LogBook through a parallel port connection.
