Start the terminal emulator program on the PC and configure the communication settings
to 9600, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control. If the meter is not echoing
the data on the LCD display to the remote terminal display, press the + key (<shift> +) to
start the terminal echo. The LCD display will briefly show the following screen when
terminal echo is turned on.
TERMINAL ECHO
IS STARTED
The output to the remote terminal display will continuously overwrite the first line of the
display. The instructions in the Meter Programming Section can be followed using the
remote terminal and keyboard for input. The only difference is that the lowercase keys
are used on the keyboard (e.g., p is used to invoke Program Mode, h is used as the Home
key to return to Run Mode, etc.) and <ENTER> is used to accept the user entry (instead
of E on the keypad).
When entering the Tag Name from the keyboard, the text/string can be typed in directly
using the alpha and numeric keys with the <SHIFT> key pressed. Using this method, the
character is added to the string and the cursor position is advanced one position to the
right for the next character. The ‘.’ (period) and ‘-‘ (hyphen) characters can also be
entered in a similar fashion. When text input is done, press <ENTER> at the keyboard to
accept the entered Tag Name. Press c to clear the string and start input at the first
character. Press d or <BACK SPACE> to clear one character to the left. Note, if the
period or dash are entered without the <SHIFT> key pressed, the <ENTER> key is
needed to accept the character and advance the cursor position to the right.
If other special characters are needed in the Tag Name, other than ‘.’ or ‘-‘, the
<unshifted>1 or <unshifted>0 key on the remote keyboard is used. The <unshifted>1 or
<unshifted>0 is pressed repeatedly until the desired character is displayed. The special
character is entered into the Tag Name string by following it with the <ENTER> key to
accept the character and advance the cursor one position to the right. The following
special characters are available using the above method:
<unshifted>
0, <sp>, (, ), +, ,, <, >
<unshifted>
