6.4 Boost Pro VT100
For all meter readings and programming including and beyond the front panel abilities,
the VT100 is the emulation method used to interface a computer with the Boost Pro
amplifier. Any parameter accessable on the front panel GUI can also be viewed and
modified via VT100. By using a PC and terminal application of your choice (such as
HyperTerminal) connected to the COM 2 port (J16) on the External I/O board with a
serial cable with DB-9 connector, you’ll have access to the VT100 screens.
6.4.1 VT100 Setup
This section outlines the steps necessary to physically connect, start the terminal
program, electronically handshake with, navigate the VT100 screens, and perform
edits.
STEP 1 Turn transmitter off
STEP 2 Connect RS-232 comm port 2 (J16) on External I/O board to your PC
STEP 3 Turn transmitter on
STEP 4 Start terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) with following settings
•Bits Per Second = 19200
•Data Bits = 8
•Parity = None
•Stop Bits = 1
•Flow Control = None
•Emulation = VT100
STEP 5 Call, or hit "Enter" twice to initiate handshake
To navigate around the VT100 screens:
•Left/Right arrows to page back/forward
•Up/Down arrows to move cursor within page
To edit a numerical entry:
STEP 1 Type the line number or letter in parenthesis - do NOT hit "Enter"
STEP 2 Use up/down arrow keys to increase/decrease numerical value
(with the exception of the Meter Calibration section, where it is required
