65
TECHNICAL MANUAL
SERIAL OUTPUT STRING ROUTING - PARAMETER 47 & 48
Description: In certain applications, the M2000 indicator’s COM ports
may need to be locked to one of the 3 Scale Channels.
Serial String Output Routing for COM1: Parameter 47
Serial String Output Routing for COM2: Parameter 48
PARAMETER VALUE OUTPUT ROUTING
0 (default)
COM port serial output string transmits from
current active channel.
1
COM port serial output string locked on
Channel 1.
2
COM port serial output string locked on
Channel 2.
3
COM port serial output string locked on
Channel 3.
4
COM port serial output string locked on
Total Mode.
TRANSMISSION DELAY FOR COM1 & COM2 - PARAMETER 65
Description: Some older equipment may experience problems keeping up to
the high update rate of the M2000. Parameter 65 inserts delays
between string transmissions to slow down the output rate.
Accepted Parameter Values: 0 to 100. Each Parameter Value represents
approximately 1/16 of a second.
PARAMETER VALUE COM1 & COM2
0 (default) Fastest Output
4 Approximately ¼ second
8 Approximately ½ second
16 Approximately 1 second
32 Approximately 2 seconds
If a Scoreboard or other device is experiencing erratic behavior
when connected to the M2000, a transmission delay of ½ second
will likely fix the problem.
