ON BOARD RS232 SERIAL PORT
The IP16 Power Supply contains a dedicated RS232 Serial Port which is used to send messages to Scope
Pagers and other serial devices. The global settings for the serial port are accessed from the Despatch screen
and Serial Settings. Here the Baud Rate, Data Bits, Flow Control (CTS) etc are configured. You must tick
Enable Serial Port before any data can be sent.
TEST MESSAGE
Using the Test Message function, you can simply sent an RS232 ASCII string to prove the configuration
settings and connections. It is not possible to send extended ASCII characters or control characters using the
test message function.
