Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Thread Like Summary - G68AVG config interface

Hi, knowledgeable experts on here.
What is the baud rate for the interface using the RS232, I thought it was 9600 +1 stop, zero parity?
and what is the baud rate if I use the USB B socket to A interface to the laptop?

I can't seem to get either working although I'm trying to use a different USB to 9 pin Serial lead (I lost the old one somewhere).
I guess I'm missing something simple, but can't think what.

Thanks Chris

okay, there is a really good chance XP is not supported by mconfig or the USB to Serial cable is not. I would stop using a 24 year old OS to even attempt this. Seems to me a bit of a waste of time and we can only offer suggestions on solving this.

G68 RS232 Interface.

The RS232 interface for the G68 can be operated from any terminal which operates at 9600 baud with 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and 0 parity. Commands take the form of two ASCII characters and in some cases, followed by a signed argument (‘nn’ below).

All commands are echoed by the G68. A carriage return character will execute the command and backspace is also implemented.

Once a command is executed, the G68 will return 20 characters.

I’d suggest using the USB connection, which needs the same settings, to avoid compatibility issues with an external USB to serial converter.
