Kiss; Ws2300; Davis; Flow - Argent Data Systems OpenTracker USB User Manual

OpenTracker USB User's Manual 7
KISS – In KISS mode, a PC or other host device sends and receives raw AX.25
packets. Keep in mind that even with one or both ports in KISS mode, the
tracker will continue to perform its other functions, including messaging and
remote command access. The host should use a different callsign/SSID
combination to avoid interference.
WS2300 – Supports LaCrosse WS-2300 series weather stations at 2400 baud,
again ignoring manual baud rate settings.
DAVIS – Supports Davis Vantage Pro series weather stations.
TEXT – Functions like 'converse' mode. Each line of text is sent as a plain text
packet when a carriage return is received. Pressing control-C twice will exit
TEXT mode.
FLOW – Valid only for port B, this setting causes the port B pins to function as
CTS/RTS flow control signals for port A.
The USB port has two modes, controlled by the 'USB KISS' option in
otwincfg.exe or the USBKISS ON/OFF option from the command console.
When USBKISS is ON, the USB port will operate in KISS mode. If the tracker
receives a KISS exit command from the host, USBKISS will be switched OFF.
With USBKISS OFF, the USB port functions as the command console. In both
modes, the baud rate setting has no effect on the serial link's speed. Some
applications may make assumptions about timing based on the selected speed,
however, so it's recommended that the baud rate be set to 115,200 bps or higher.
