7.8 External Serial Commands

Many of the STAP functions and parameters may be controlled or changed via remote
RS232 commands from a user-supplied computer. The commands listed below may be
sent directly to the RS232 port on the STAP main board using the Serial-USB converter
cable and DB9-Cgrid cable provided with the STAP.
DO NOT use the commands below when communicating with the serial
port on the tablet computer running the UAV Reader connected to a STAP.
Use the commands listed in the UAV Reader Software section of this man-
ual.
Be sure to set the same communication baud rate on the STAP and the computer used to
send the serial command. This MUST be a serial baud rate (e.g. 38400) and NOT 'USB'.
When using remote control RS232 commands DIRECTLY with the STAP
you MUST send the values within the commands in hexadecimal format.
