It is necessary to match the PAX meter’s serial communications parameters

to the host’s parameters before communications can be established. This is

The only paramters of concern when utilizing the PAXUSB programming

option card to communicate with Crimson 2 programming software is the Baud

Rate and Meter Address. The Parameters are only accessible when an optional

PAXUSB, RS232 or RS485 serial communications card is installed.

Parameter

Selection/Value

Set the baud rate to match that of other serial communications equipment.

Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial

communications equipment is capable of transmitting.

Select either 7 or 8 bit data word lengths. Set the word length to match that

of other serial communication equipment. Since the meter receives and

transmits 7-bit ASCII encoded data, 7 bit word length is sufficient to request

and receive data from the meter.

Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial communications equipment

used. The meter ignores the parity when receiving data, and sets the parity bit

for outgoing data. If no parity is selected with 7-bit word length the meter

transmits and receives data with 2 stop bits. (For example: 10 bit frame with

mark parity)

Enter the serial node address. With a single unit on a bus, an address is not

needed and a value of zero can be used (RS232 applications). Otherwise, with

multiple bussed units, a unique address number must be assigned to each meter.

The node address applies specifically to RS485 applications.

Select abbreviated transmissions (numeric only) or full field transmission.

When the data from the meter is sent directly to a terminal for display, the extra

characters that are sent identify the nature of the meter parameter displayed. In

desirable to suppress the node address and mnemonic when transmitting. In this
