Programming - Serial Port
118 025-9567E
This parameter is used to compensate for the limitations of older printers that may not have
any buffer memory and might therefore “lose” data while performing a carriage return or line
feed. The null characters act as padding before new data is sent.
At the following prompt, the encoder expects a single digit response (0 or 1) indicating
whether or not the Model 25 should send a “Bell” character (Control + G) out the serial port
whenever it sounds its own annunciator. The default setting is “0”.
SEND BELL CHARACTER (0=NO,1=YES)
PD1>0
The choices are: 0 = No BELL character sent
1 = Send BELL character when annunciator sounds
At the following prompt, the encoder expects a single-digit response (0 or 1) indicating
whether or not the encoder should monitor the CTS line of the serial port. The default is “0”.
CTS MONITOR (0=N,1=Y)
PD1>0
The choices are: 0 = Do not monitor CTS
1 = Monitor CTS
The CTS line on the serial port is used to “hold off” the Model 25 from transmitting until the
receiving device is ready; however, monitoring this line could slow the operation of the
encoder.
At the following prompt, the encoder expects a single-digit response (0 or 1) indicating
which polarity (high or low) of the CTS input the encoder considers to be busy. The default
is “0”.
CTS BUSY POLARITY (0=GND)
PD1>0
The choices are: 0 = Low (or “mark”) is CTS busy
1 = High (or “space”) is
CTS busy
At the following prompt, the encoder expects a single-digit response (0 or 1) which sets the
operating mode for the Model 25 serial port. The default is “0”.
LOGGING ENABLE (1=YES)
PD1>0
The choices are: 0 = Logging disabled
1 = Logging enabled
The logging enabled (1) setting should only be used if the serial port is connected to a printer
or other logging device and dedicated to that purpose.
