Communication parameters : WINDOWS TERMINAL
(5) Communication parameters
Communication between the AR8000 and computer (via the CU8232) uses
semi-duplex. Refer to both the English language operating manual (page 101
section 18-1) and the computer handbook for correct settings.
Baud rate:
Delimiter:
Stop bit:
Parity check:
Both the computer and AR8000 must use the same parameters for correct
operation.
If data is regularly lost or corrupted, try using a slower speed such as 4800 or
2400 baud. Use of a slower baud rate should not greatly reduce overall
communications transfer rate since the processing time within the receiver and
PLL lock-time ultimately restricts the whole process.
Note: When changing BAUD rate, switch the AR8000 Off/On to
(6) Use of Microsoft WINDOWS "TERMINAL"
Assuming you have DOS and WINDOWS 3.1 (or later) loaded on an IBM-PC
compatible computer, WINDOWS "TERMINAL" may be used to address the
CU8232 and AR8000 receiver to enable basic remote operation.
Start WINDOWS by typing WIN at the DOS prompt. Locate the [TERMINAL]
ICON in the program manager ACCESSORIES group and double-click.
