Em5b 5 ECH2O UTILITY MENUS
The Communications preference tab has items that control how the
serial communication works between ECH2O Utility and your Em5b
Generally you should not adjust these settings unless you are expe-
riencing trouble connecting to your Em5b.
Direct Connect Retries: ECH2O Utility automatically retries
commands it sends to you Em5b when there are errors. For most
circumstances, the default retries work well. If you experience un-
reliable communication with your Em5b, you can try increasing the
Direct Connect Retries but it increases response time.
Maximum Baud Rate: The Em5b only supports communicating
at 9600 baud. ECH2O Utility knows this, and therefore this setting
is ignored for the Em5b.
Communications Port List: ECH2O Utility is compatible with
most USB-to-Serial adapters. Some models of USB-to-Serial adapters
are not found by the serial port enumeration feature of ECH2O Util-
ity. If your model of USB-to-serial adapter is not recognize, enable
"Force find all Communication Ports" in the Preferences Menu by
going to the Communication tab, and enabling the check box at the
bottom of the screen. Enabling this option may find other serial
ports that are not available for use by ECH2O Utility (for example,
modems installed in your computer).
