PG-200 Comm Port tab page
Allows you to set the communications port and parameters for communications between
the computer and the PG-200. Additionally provides for initializing the port. See
Chapter 13 for additional information.
Parameters
Port Type:
Determines which type port will be used. Select
Serial
for communications
with the PG-200.
COM Port:
Selects the serial Comm Port to be used for communications with the PG-
200. The range is 1 to 8. Be sure the selection you make corresponds with the
physical reality of the computer. Generally, the mouse is connected to COM1
and the Pulser is connected to COM2.
Initialize Port:
Immediately initializes the selected Comm Port. If the pulser/timing
generator is not correctly connected to that Comm port or not turned on, an error
message will appear.
Control Buttons:
Apply Changed Settings:
Clicking on this button immediately sends any
changed dialog values to the PG-200 Pulser. For example, if the Pulse Width and
Trigger Frequency have been changed since the last time the pulser was
programmed, only those values will be sent to the pulser. This is faster than
using the
Apply All Settings
button, which sends all the PG-200 Setup values
to the pulser, and can take several seconds.
Apply All Settings:
Clicking on this button immediately sends all current dialog
values to the PG-200. Reprogramming of the PG-200 will take several seconds.
If you have only changed one or two dialog items, it is better to click on the
Figure 275.
PG-200 Comm
Port tab page.
