Appendix C – Quick start for serial communication
Introduction
One special feature of the PIX Connect software contains the possibility to communicate via a serial COM-
Port interface. This can be a physical COM-Port or a virtual COM-Port (VCP). It must be available on the
computer where the PIX Connect software is installed.
Setup of the interface
1. Open the Configurations dialog and enter the tab “External Communication” to enable the
software for the serial communication.
2. Select the mode “COM-Port” 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.
