16-Channel Programmable Serial Device 1.0 General Thank you for purchasing the Hall Research HR-16P. The HR-16P is a programmable RS-232 serial device designed to control any device with a serial port based on sensing level changes (open-to-close and close-toopen, or digital high to low and vice versa). The HR-16P has 16 discrete inputs that sense a DC voltage level or contact closure (see figure below for input terminal configuration).
Model HR-16P 2.0 Features Compact, Reliable, and Economical 33 user-programmable Command Strings (2 per each input and one for startup) Allows multiple instances of user-defined delays within each string Intuitive Operation Front panel LED status indicator Compact, Rugged, Reliable, and Economical Made in USA 3.0 Precautions This device is shipped with a 5v DC regulated power supply that has a 2.1mm plug (center positive). Use of higher voltage supplies will cause damage to the unit.
16-Channel Programmable Serial Device 4.0 Operation The HR-16P is designed to send a string of commands to a serial device (e.g. a projector) via the serial interface, when the discrete input transitions from one state to another. Figure 2 – Input circuit for each of the 16 Discrete inputs Hi input = Open or Voltage above 1v Lo input = Short to ground or Voltage below 0.3v *** Input Voltage Range = 0v to +30 v *** 4.
Model HR-16P 6 Windows® GUI Programming Software Go to: http://www.hallresearch.com Select the HR-16P product from the list and download the software from the page displayed.. 6.1 How to Create Command Strings After installation, run the application and select the COM port you will use to connect the HR-16P to the PC. Typically this is something like COM1 To build your command strings in the HR-16P Programmer, follow the instructions below: Figure 4 – Define String Screen 1.
16-Channel Programmable Serial Device (as opposed to toggle switches), and you want a single RS-232 Command to be issued, simply define it for the rising edge . 3. Here is where you type your command string in ASCII. You can use backspace to erase characters if you wish. You can also hit enter to insert a Carriage Return (Hex 0D) in to the string. 4. If your target expects control characters that you cannot directly type from your keyboard, you can type the hex value (from 0 to FF) here and click on insert.
Model HR-16P work if the HR-16P is powered up together with or after the target. You may wish to also include a wait at the start to give target time to boot up. Notes There are a few restrictions when building your string: The Backspace key is the only way to correct or delete characters in your string and you can only Backspace from the end of the string. The Windows “Paste” function has been disabled so you may not “Paste” into the Serial String window.
