My 1st post! Looking for help accessing Jetter Pase-E when connected to a PC.
This Jetter Pase-E has a 9 pin DB connector as well as a 25 pin BD connector and a momentary switch on the CPU card assembly (gpc-CPU3 #3.85 and gpc-CPU3 #275 on a paper labile). The firmware is Version 4.02. The 9 pin connector utilizes pins 2,3,4,5 only which are connected to an optocoupler I.C. (TLP504A) This is not RS232.
However the 25 Pin connector pins 2,3,7 (only pins) are connected to a standard RS232 driver and receiver I.C.s namely MC1489 and MC1488. At this moment the status when running [SPEcIAL and JETTER] menu offers: Jetter,
telephone number, Interface=com1, Pase-E+ = off line, save environment =on, syntax check = on and free memory = 396K. Note that Pase-E is not available in the SPEcIAL, Settings, Controller TyPE. Only Pase-E+ (plus). At this
point the Jetter PASE-E assembly is not in the machine, where it has no I/O cables attached to it. Just a PC / RS232 and power! Is this OK!
From my PC running Sympas 5.20 using the SPEcIAL TERMINAL menu and then depressing the momentary switch on the Pase-E CPU card, offers me a split video screen on the PC. Then, as requested by the PASE-E to get access (I'm communicating RS232 here now) Depressing "P" offers me a variety of other
menus such as
(A) Automatic (RAM)
(R) Restart Automatic (EPROM)
(E) Edit Ram
(V) View EPROM
(C) Communication and Control
(S) Setup
--------->
There are submenus as well. I'm guessing this is typical data destined for a LCD hand-held assembly (LCD17 maybe) or is this the way I have to program the unit?
Should I be running an earlier version of Sympas? Do I need to change the setup in Communication and Control so that Sympas will recognized the unit? What data is stored in EEPROM and what data is in non-volatile (battery
supported) Memory. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I thank you in advance for your feedback.
