PLM III SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Starting Communications
The PDM software allows users to download and
configure the system.
Before connecting to the payload meter, select
"Change Program Options" and confirm that the pro-
gram has selected the correct laptop serial port. Most
laptops use Comm 1 for serial communications. The
units displayed for reports and graphs by the PC soft-
ware can be set on this form. Click "Done" to return
to the main menu.
From the main menu, click the "Connect to Payload
Meter" button. The PC will try to connect to the pay-
load meter and request basic information from the
system. In the event of communications trouble, the
PC will try 3 times to connect before "timing-out".
This may take several seconds.
