Sending and Receiving Test Data (RS-232/422/485: 4-Wire)

11.4.3.Sending and Receiving Test Data (RS-232/422/485: 4-Wire)
You can use this procedure to send and receive test data through the RS-232/422/485 (4-wire, full-duplex) port
or ports that you want to test.
1. If you have not done so, perform Steps 1 through 2 on Page 134.
2. Install the loopback plug onto the port (or ports) that you want to test.
See Connecting Serial Devices on Page 76, if you need to build loopback plugs.
3. Select Port > Send and Receive Test Data.
You should see the alphabet scrolling across the port. If so, then the port installed properly and is
operational.
Note: If you left Port Monitor running, it should show data sent and received and show the average data
throughput on the port.
4. Select Port > Send and Receive Test Data to stop the scrolling data.
5. You can go to the next procedure to run the Loopback Test on Page 137 if this is an RS-232 port.
If this test successfully completed, then the port is operational as expected.
Note: Do NOT forget to restart the communications application.
