232 MONITOR PLUS
2.4 The Command Keys
The command keys are described
below (in alphabetical order).
AUTO RD CONFIG [W]
If you do not know the trans-mission
settings of the device you are
monitoring, press AUTO RD
CONFIGURE; the 232 Monitor Plus
analyzes the Receive Data (RD)
signal and automatically sets itself to
match the parameters it finds.
AUTO TD CONFIG [A]
If you don't know the transmission
settings of the device you are
monitoring, press AUTO TD
CONFIGURE; 232 Monitor Plus
analyzes the Transmit Data (TD)
signal and automatically sets itself to
match the parameters it finds.
BERT/PERFORM [B]
Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT) is
used to transmit a test pattern to a
piece of data-communications
equipment (DCE). The DCE then
retransmits the same pattern back to
the 232 Monitor Plus. The 232
Monitor Plus compares the incom-
ing data with the original data string
transmitted by the BERT, and counts
and reports errors. When you first
press

Flow Control
Do you want flow control? If you
choose a pattern that transmits
XONs/XOFFs (All Bits or 511 Bert)
you must turn Flow Control OFF.
Passes
integer
How many times in total would you
like to send the data string?
Timeout
integer
How many 0.25-second intervals
would you like the 232 Monitor Plus
to wait for an answer before
reporting a timeout error? When a
timeout occurs, the words "timeout
error" appear on the report.
