Download Baud Rate
• Recorder uses a higher baud rate to download data files (compared to the one used for stan-
dard system communication). The default download baud rate is 115200.
• High baud rates can only be used with high-quality, relatively short cables (such as the cables
normally supplied with the ADVField).
• If you have trouble downloading data, try using a slower download baud rate.
Communication parameters
• COM port and baud rate settings can be modified in the upper left area of the screen.
• Access to all communication settings (data bits, stop bits, etc.) can be set using the
Set-
tings|Port Settings
menu.
RS485 Multiple System Operation
• The top center area of the screen specifies the RS485 system communication address.
• An address setting of 0 indicates RS485 is not being used. An address setting of from 1
through 15 prefaces all commands with that system address.
• See the ADVField Operation Manual for details on RS485 multi-system operation.
