CONTROL SETTINGS ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE MODE:
The machine settings are easily adjusted with any Windows computer equipped with Hyperterminal.
(Hyperterminal is Windows 95/98 Accessory). The program can be accessed through the "Start"
bar, scroll to "Programs" then scroll to "Accessories". It is possible that it might be under
"Communication" under "Accessories". Depending on the specific configuration of the computer,
the "hyperterm" icon might then need to be clicked to run the program.
Once the program is running the "New connection" menu will be open. Type in "3800 Rider" at
the connection name, then hit OK. The "Connect To" menu will then be open. The "Connect
Using" line must be changed to either "Direct to com1", "Direct to com2", "Direct to com3" or
"Direct to com4". Be sure to choose the same com port that your serial input card is plugged into.
Then open the "Configure" menu (It might also be called "Properties" depending on which version
is running). The following are the correct settings.
Bits per second
Data Bits
Parity
Stop Bits
Flow Control
Adjust all of the above to match, then hit "OK". If the "Configure" window closes it can be opened
by clicking "Properties" under the "File" pull down window. Next, press the "Settings" tab. Under
the "Emulation" line, change it to "VT100". Then click "OK". The windows computer is now
configured correctly.
To connect to the 3800 rider, remove the front cover of the computer. This is located on the
steering column. Insert the communication cable (Minuteman P/N 742764) into the 3800 rider's
computer port that is labeled "laptop". Insert the other end of the cable into the computer interface
box (Minuteman P/N 742737). Finally, insert the computer interface box into the serial port that
the computer was configured for under "Connect to" above.
In order for the computer to communicate, the 3800 rider must be turned on. Once the machine
is turned on, the setting screen shown should appear on the computer. It is possible that "Control-
L" might need to be pressed to reset the screen.
