The PIcon II has on-board diagnostics which are helpful in solving problems encountered in the
field. Below are some standard diagnostic functions, which are described later in this section:
 • Show Dispenser Information
 • Display Version Information
 • Download Print Header

To access diagnostics, a computer running a terminal emulation software such as Hyperterm for
Windows is required. Note: A standard A to B USB cable is used to connect the terminal device
to the diagnostic port, not a null modem cable. See Diagram: PIcon II Port Layout for
connector locations. The diagnostic port is a serial port with the following connection
parameters. 
 • Baud Rate 57,600
 • Data Bits 8
 • Parity None
 • Stop Bits 1
 • Flow Control None
