Section 3 - Configuring the VM700A
3-16
VM700A Option 01 (NTSC) & Option 11 (PAL) User Manual
Possible Port settings for the Copy, Report, Log, Control, and Remote Control
ports are Serial Port 0, Serial Port 1, and None. Giving a port a setting of None
disables the logical port’s function (e.g., setting the Copy port to None means
that no screen dump will be produced when you press the Copy button).
Possible format settings for the Copy, Report, Log, and Remote Control ports are
Epson LQ, PostScript, ASCII Printer, HP LaserJet, HP DeskJet, and HP
ThinkJet. If you have an Epson LQ, PostScript-compatible, or HP LaserJet
printer, you can use the Copy function to capture any VM700A display from the
Waveform, Vector, Picture, Measure, or Auto modes.
If you have only an ASCII printer available, set Copy Format to ASCII Printer.
Then the Copy function is enabled only in Auto mode, which displays only text.
If the Copy button is pressed in Waveform, Vector, Picture, or Measure modes
when Copy Format is set to ASCII Printer, the VM700A will beep, indicating
the Copy function is not available.
To change a Port or Format Assignment. Select the parameter you wish to change
by rotating the knob until the parameter is highlighted, then touching the screen
over the parameter value.
Rotate the control knob until the desired parameter value appears.
Press the Accept Input soft key, or
Touch the screen anywhere inside the window, then press the Update & Exit
soft key to save the changes.
Port Configuration. Two groups of eight lines appear in the Communication
Setup file after the lines that control port and format assignments. These two
groups constitute the port configuration lines of the Communication Setup file.
These lines control the formatting of data when the VM700A is being operated
remotely and when it is being used to control a remote device on the Control
port.
The configuration parameters for Serial Port 0 and Serial Port 1 and their
possible values are as follows:
Protocol: can be set to None or SLIP (serial line internet protocol).
Baud Rate: can be set to 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or
38400.
Flow Control: can be set to XON/XOFF (software handshaking to control
data flow), CTS/RTS (hardware handshaking to control data flow) or NONE
(no flow control).
Character Size: can be set to 7 or 8 bits.
Parity: can be set to None, Odd, Even, Zero, or One.
