Hi. I've tried the null modem and loaded in the I7018 program from the sample folders. Changed all the 3 to 1, since I will be using comm 1 to communicate through RS485. 888 ID is 02. Monitoring 888 through the 485 port using another RS485. Changed the baud rate from original 3 to 6 as I have already changed the I7018 baud from original 9600 to 38600. Confirmed baud rate using ICP software. Changed 0E to 0F as I have changed I7018 to 0F in order to measure K type thermocouple.

SETBAUD 1,6
SETLCD 0,1, CHR$(1)
Z$ = NETCMD$(1,"%01010F0600"+CHR$(13)+"~")
' Note suffix "~" means do not calculate FCS

When Init is pressed, Invalid command is shown on LCD. What could be the problem? Do I have to short pin 7 and pin 8 like what I see on setup paper of the Auto485? Thanks.
