THelpTopic  Options Menu
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
≤The Options menu will present you with the configuration options that you may choose to set for your particular I/O card. Please step through each of the options which pertain to your card to insure that your card is configured as you desire. /
Configuration options for the PCOM2S include: ë
             Echo Option
             Auto RTS Option
             Termination
             RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 communication protocol
][
THelpTopic#  Options │ Echo
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
The PCOM2S allows you to select whether the card leaves the receive line on. This means that every character that is transmitted is also received by the port (i.e. echoed back).  In RS-232 mode, this is automatic, so it would be redundant to install the jumper when in that mode. ][
THelpTopic+  Options │ Auto RTS
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
kThe PCOM2S allows you to select whether the card will control the RTS line through hardware or not.  On standard RS422/485 cards, software must control the Ready To Send (RTS) line in order to specify whether the software will be transmitting data or listening for it.  The PCOM2S will automatically set and clear this line for you when this jumper is installed. ][
THelpTopic;  Options │ Port Termination
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
/The PCOM2S allows termination where necessary. ][
THelpTopicG  Options │ Communication Protocol
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
⌡The PCOM2S allows you to select whether the card will use the RS-232 protocol, the RS-422 protocol, or the RS-485 protocol.  RS-232 is what is found in most Personal Computers.  It is the type of connection that serial ports in PCs use.  There are limitations to this specification, so the RS-422 protocol was defined.  This type of connection allows longer distances, but is also limited to a two node connection.  RS-485 allows multiple nodes, and is a two-wire connection, making it very flexible. ][
THelpTopic#  Options │ BIAS
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
`The PCOM2S allows selection of a -BIAS and +BIAS.  This allows a greater pull-down and pull-up. ][

ƒThis dialog shows you the current base addresses for both COMA and COMB of the PCOM2S.  It also shows the IRQ line which is being used for these serial ports. ][
