User Manual

set to the default 9600 baud, N, 8, 1, you will see the menu displayed on your com-

puterʼs screen. There are two conﬁguration screens in the Br-SDC:

1) Trigger Setup Screen: On this screen, you set which input sends out which string.

2) String Setup: This screen is used to set up which characters are sent and re-

ceived in each string.

To redraw any screen at any time, just press the <ESC>ape key or <SPACE> bar.

All numeric values are entered in Decimal (0-9) or HEXadecimal (0-9, A-F) numbers.

Each number consist of one or more ASCII characters followed by a <RETURN> (<EN-

TER> on some keyboards). If more characters have been entered before the <RE-

TURN> than are allowed, then the characters already entered will scroll to the left to

make room for the new entries. Once a command has been invoked, characters can be

erased one-by-one by using the <DELETE> key (<BACKSPACE> on some keyboards).

An entire entry can be erased by hitting the <ESC>ape key. A command can be can-

celed altogether by hitting the <RETURN> key (<ENTER> on some keyboards) or

<ESC>ape key after all the characters have been erased or before any have been en-

tered.

Once you have conﬁgured a Br-SDC, you can ʻlockʼ the conﬁguration by moving the

ʻConﬁgure/Runʼ Switch to the ʻrunʼ position. This should protect your conﬁguration from

anything short of a lightning hit. The ʻHeartʼ LED will slow to the normal running rate,

and you can test your strings by triggering them through the 0-9 switch closure inputs.

Conﬁguration changes can be re-enabled at any time by moving the switch back to the

ʻConﬁgureʼ position.

If you want to keep a hard copy printout of the current conﬁguration of the Br-SDC,

you should use the <ESC>ape key to redraw the screen while ʻsaving to ﬁleʼ in the mo-

dem program running on your computer. This ﬁle can be printed out at any time, or

spliced into the documentation package for your project.
