Hardware Setup
The Hardware Setup configuration allows you to determine the
following settings:
• Serial Port – Allows you to edit the following settings that
affect data transmitted from the RS-232 Port.
Baud Rate – Choose the correct baud rate.
Hand Shake – Set the method of handshaking
between the instrument and your computer. There are
four handshake methods: Off, CTS (ensures
instrument is working before sending a handshake),
BUSY, or XON.
Auto XMT – Enable (on) or disable (off) automatic
transmission of measured data.
Separator – Determines the character that separates
the data components of a measurement: Space,
Comma, Tab, CR (carriage return), CRLF (carriage
return, line feed), LF (line feed).
Delimiter – Determines the character that terminates
the string of measured data: CR (carriage return),
CRLF (carriage return, line feed), or LF (line feed).
Set Data Types – Determines the type of data that is
transmitted after a measurement (if Auto XMT is on or
when requested by an RCI command). Available data
types are Colorimetric and Reflectance.
Header – Enables (on) or disables (off) the header
from printing during a data transmit.
Std Printout – Enables (on) or disables (off) the
standard from printing during a data transmit. If “Diff
Disp” is turned off in Measure Options, no standard
will print, regardless of this setting.
Emulation – Enables the instrument to emulate other
instrument outputs. When set to Off, the instrument
communicates normally. When set to 968, the
instrument duplicates most 968 communication
commands (including RCI version command
response) allowing communication with older X-Rite
software packages (QA-Master, Paint-Master, etc.)
• Read Operation– Determines the method that is used to
take a measurement.
RCI Only – A measurement can only be initiated
through an RCI command via the RS-232 port.
