The Baudrate line contains the speed of the communication. The baud rate is determined by the TX side of
a serial communication: the receiver follows the setting of the output board and the input board follows the
setting of the transmitter. The Periphery receive
the response will be ignored. The data can be sent as ASCII characters or numbers as binary data. Select
the appropriate value from the list.
RS-232 Terminal
The RS-232 commands can be sent via this terminal or protocol commands (for protocol commands,
see the chapter). The displayed text can be ASCII or Hexadecimal format, but it
checkbox. Add terminating CRLF add CarriageReturn and LineFeed after every line when the Enter key was
hit or the Send button is pushed with a mouse click.
The terminal window can be cleared with the Clear button, but if the autoscroll checkbox is active, it shows the
last commands. If the command to be sent consists of hexadecimal bytes (00 .. FF), check the Hexadecimal
checkbox under the input line.
Supported Boards:
▪ MX-TPS-IB, -TPS2-IB, -TPS-OB, -TPS2-OB
The structure of the RS-232 terminal window is almost the same as in the case of the optical boards.

Diagnostic Tools
Frame Detector
The ports can show detailed information about the signal like blanking intervals and active video resolution.
This feature is a good troubleshooter if compatibility problems occur during system installation. To access
this function, open the port properties window and click on the Frame detector button. #framedetector
exact video format that is present on the port, thus helps to identify many problems. E.g. actual timing
parameters may differ from the expected and this may cause some displays to drop the picture.
Frame Detector measures detailed timings on the video signals just like a built-in oscilloscope, but it is much
more easy to use. The actual display area shows the active video size (light gray). The dark grey area of the
full frame is the blanking interval, which can contain the info frames and embedded audio data for HDMI
signals. Shown values are measured directly on the signal and not retrieved only from the HDMI info frames.
