Page 14: The Edgeport Utility Program
The Edgeport configuration utility program (edgeport.exe) allows you to manage the serial ports of your Edgeport product. Note that with Windows NT you must have administrative privileges in order to change the COM port settings. For more information, see the Support section at www.digi.com. General Tab The General tab in this utility allows you to do the following: Information - Check the manufacturing information pertaining to your device. - Page 15 Configure - Reassign the physical port on your device to any available Windows COM port number from 1 to 255 and give your device a user friendly Device Name. This capability is particularly helpful if you have more than one device. Port Flags - Configure performance options and special functionality on a per-port basis.
- Page 16 Low Latency: (930 based Edgeport only) Normally the UART will interrupt when the receiver has been idle for 4 character times. (For example 4ms at 9600) As long as data is being received the UART will continue to buffer them until its internal FIFO is full (~56 bytes).
- Page 17 Here is a comment from the code: If the receiver is active then do not complete this read. The problem is that the Edgeport buffers the RX bytes and we poll the driver. If we do not receive any bytes in 200ms we may report an erroneous event even if there are available bytes in the Edgeport device or driver.
- Page 18 Port Status – Provide the status of a selected (highlighted) serial port. The Poll Interval is the number of seconds between updates of this window. This is also the number of seconds between each entry in the log file. To create a log file, click the Start Logging button and enter a filename for the log file. This file will contain all of the information displayed in the Port Status window until the Stop Logging button is clicked.
