2.2. PC Software Configuration
The simplest way to control XR30 is by using a Terminal Emulation program on the PC. The
general configuration procedure consists of:
• Open a Terminal Emulation program on your computer (Procomm, HyperTerminal, etc).
• Configure the computer’s COM port to which the XR30 is connected. The default configuration
for the COM port is: COM port - COM1; Data rate - 19200 bps; Data bits - 8 bits; Parity – none;
Stop bits – 1; Flow control – none.
• Use an adapter from USB to RS485 (LS PN 600057) if only USB ports are available on the PC.
• From the PC send commands to XR30 and observe the responses on the PC.
Other dedicated software can be used to control XR30 as long as the correct commands are
provided for XR30, as documented.
