Appendix C – Quick start for serial communication
Introduction
One special feature of the PI Connect software contains the possibility to communicate via a serial
comport interface. This can be a physical comport or a Virtual Comport (VCP). It must be available on the
computer where the PI connect software is installed.
Setup of the interface
1. Open the Options dialog and enter the tab “Extended Communication” to enable the
software for the serial communication.
2. Select the mode “Comport” and choose the appropriate port.
3. Select the baud rate that matches the baud rate of the other communication device. The other
interface parameters are 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit (8N1).
These parameters are used in many other communication devices too. The other station must support 8
bit data.
4. Connect the computer with the communication device. If this is a computer too, use a null modem
cable.
