˽ PC Com Port Settings – By default, SSM is set to automatically detect PC com port
& baud rate settings. To manually configure these settings, click the Specify PC com
port & baud rate settings radio button. This will activate the Port # and Baud Rate
(bps) drop-down lists.
˽ Additional Response Wait Time – By default, SmartSensor Manager waits a few mil-
liseconds to receive a response from the sensor before timing out and displaying a
communication error message. You can add additional milliseconds to the response
wait time to give the program more time to make a connection. Click the Use an addi-
tional: check box to activate the milliseconds text field and enter the number of addi-
tional milliseconds SmartSensor Manager should wait for a response from the sensor.
˽ SmartSensor Network Protocol – These options can be used to identify sensors that
are part of a multi-drop network. The Simple protocol option refers to sensors that are
not part of a multi-drop environment. If the sensor is part of a multi-drop network,
SmartSensor Manager can either auto-detect the multi-drop ID, or you can enter the
four-digit ID. Clicking the Use Multidrop Protocol… Connect Directly to ID: radio
button will activate the text box so you can enter the ID number.
˽ Time Synchronization – Click the check box to have SmartSensor automatically syn-
chronize with the PC clock.
Click on the check box at the bottom of the Advanced Connection Settings page to use
the new settings as default. Click OK to save the new settings or Cancel to return to de-
fault; both buttons will return you to the Serial Connection page. The new settings will be
reflected in the message bar at the bottom of the page.
