Configuring The Motion Perfect 2 Desktop
If the port you wish to use is not shown, you need to select the Add Port option
which will select the following dialog.
Most Motion Perfect 2 users will connect via a standard RS-232 serial (COM) port.
Other options include a connection via a high speed Universal Serial Bus (USB)
port or a controller simulation for offline editing.
Choose the port options you require and click on the "OK" button to install the
new port.
Changing Comms Port
Parameters
The default settings for serial com-
munications is:- 9600 baud, 7 data
bits, 2 stop bits, even parity. If you
wish to change these values you can
do so with the configure button in
the Configure Communications dia-
log.
Note:
If you change the port setting to anything other than the default, you may
encounter problems when the controller is reset because it will revert to the
default values.
In order to avoid this your controller will need to set the comms parameters
within an auto-running program. See the
SETCOM instruction in the Trio
BASIC reference for further information.
