5.2 Saving and Transferring DataConnecting a personal computer to the <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> EDPport allows you to save configuration data to the PC orto download configuration data from the PC to a<strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>. The following sections describe theprocedures for these save and transfer operations.5.2.1 Saving <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> Data to a Personal ComputerConfiguration data can be saved to a personalcomputer connected to the EDP port. The PC must berunning a communications program such asPROCOMMPLUS ® . See Section 2.3.3 on page 7 forinformation about serial communications wiring andEDP port pin assignments.When configuring the <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>, ensure that thevalues set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on theSERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and paritysettings configured for the serial port on the PC. Setthe PRNDEST parameter to EDP.To save all configuration data, place the <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> insetup mode and send the DUMPALL EDP command.The <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> responds by sending all configurationparameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to<strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>Configuration data saved on a PC or floppy disk canbe downloaded from the PC to a <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>. Thisprocedure is useful when a number of <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>s withsimilar configurations are set up or when a <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>is replaced.To download configuration data, connect the PC to theEDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the<strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> in setup mode and use the PCcommunications software to send the savedconfiguration data to the <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>. When transfer iscomplete, calibrate the <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> as described inSection 4.0.NOTES:• Calibration settings are included in theconfiguration data downloaded to the <strong>Tracer</strong><strong>AV</strong>. If the receiving <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> is a directreplacement for another <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> and theattached scale is not changed, recalibration isnot required.• When downloading configurations thatinclude changed serial communicationssettings, edit the data file to place the serialcommunications changes at the end of thefile. Communication between the PC and<strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> will be lost once the <strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong>receives settings for baud rate (BAUDparameter) or data bits and parity (BITSparameter) that do not match those configuredfor the PC.<strong>Tracer</strong> <strong>AV</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> - EDP Commands 31
