2.3.12 RTS/DTR
The RTS/DTR submenu controls the Request To Send (RTS) and Data Terminal
Ready (DTR) signals of the cutter's RS-232-C serial communications interface for
hardware handshaking.
The RTS/DTR default value is TOGGLE.
After pressing the
key, press the or jogging key until the desired setting
is displayed on the LCD and press
to confirm.
RTS/DTR can be set to TOGGLE (hardware handshaking) or HIGH (software
handshaking).
On the LCD, the active handshaking setting is marked with an “*”.
2.3.13 RS 232 TEST
The RS 232 TEST routine verifies the cutter’s RS-232-C serial communications
(transmit data, receive data, and hardware handshaking) circuits. This test does not
require pen, knife or media to be loaded.
To run the RS-232-C test, proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the RS-232-C data cable from the rear panel of the cutter.
2. Use a loopback test cable to connect pin 2 of the cutter’s data connector to pin 3
and pin 7 to pin 8.
3. With RS 232 TEST displayed, press the
key. The cutter will start transmitting
and receiving data at all available baud rates and parity settings. The length of the
transmissions will vary because of the different baud rates used. The unit then
checks the hardware handshake lines.
If the RS232 port is not working correct, then the cutter returns an error message.
2.3.14 ALIGN MODE
The parameter ALIGN MODE in the menu determines which alignment method is used.
(See section 3 for complete explanation)
After pressing the
key, press the or jogging key until the desired setting
is displayed on the LCD and press
