DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

There are two DIP switches located on the OptoScan456(tm) circuit board.
SW1 (farthest from the mounting hole) selects the CI-V interface address.
Sixteen different addresses are available.  In order to communicate with the
OptoScan456(tm), the computer software must specify the address selected by
SW1.  The CI-V address switch settings are listed in Table 2 below.  All
addresses are specified in hexadecimal notation.  The factory default
setting, address 80, is shown in bold type.

SW2 (closest to the mounting hole) selects the CI-V interface data rate.  In
order to communicate with the OptoScan456(tm), the data rate of the computer
serial port must match the data rate selected by SW2.  The CI-V data rate
settings are listed in Table 3 below.  The factory default setting, 9600
bps,
is shown in bold type.  The 9600 bps data rate is strongly recommended, as a
lower data rate will impair scanning speed.

Subject: [Pro2006] OptoScan456 Dip switch settings

Hello everyone,
 
I've got a pro-2006 with a OS456.  I'm getting ready
to change computers but I need to change the com port
settings on the board first and I can't find the
paperwork that came with the OS456.  Would anyone have
a copy that they could send me or at least tell me how
to set it for com port #1.

Thanks,
Paul
