Test A: Initial Connection and Setup
1. With the VM5000 Power off, connect all five MIU coaxial cables to the host
VM5000. Use the labels on the MIU as a guide. Connect the RS232 cable
between the MIU and COM1 port on the VM5000. Attach a keyboard and
mouse to the VM5000. Turn on the VM5000. The MIU Power ON led
should be lit and the MIU Fault LED should be off. If the Fault indicator is
lit, check that all of the coaxial cables have been properly connected.
2. Open Hyperterminal on the VM5000. If an “MIU – Hyperterminal” session
was previously established and saved, open it. If not, establish a session as
follows:
a. Minimize open programs, such as the oscilloscope application and the
VM5000 application, so that the Windows desktop is visible.
b. Open the terminal emulation program Hyperterminal. Hyperterminal is
typically located under Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>Hyperterminal.
c. When Hyperterminal is first opened, a pop-up window Connection
Description will open. Under name, enter MIU, and then click OK.
d. A Connect To window will open. Under Connect using, select COM1,
and click OK.
e. A COM1 Properties window will open. Set the Port Settings as follows:
Bits per second=9600
Data bits=8
parity=None
Stop bits=1
Flow Control=None
After changing the settings, click OK.
3. The Hyperterminal window should be open, as connection MIU. Select
File>Properties. The MIU Properties window will appear. Select the Settings
tab, followed by clicking the ASCII Setup button. Select Echo typed
characters locally and Send line ends with line feeds. Click OK to close the
ASCII Setup window, and then click OK to close the MIU Properties
window.
4. From the keyboard, type $ID? The MIU should identify itself, returning a
response similar to id=miu_v1.0. If there is no response, double check all
electrical connections and the Hyperterminal settings described above.
