VK45 serial port

[E.T.]

So, at least I have one of my many cabels/connections wired correctly. Thanks for the confirmation.

Where do I change the "7 bits" and "even parity" on the machine? Is it born that way?

I'm using/trying a trail version from cncedit.com. Any other suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Do you have a manual? I don't have the key sequence of the top of my head, I have set up a couple of machines for customers but don't remember the details, It is probabally going to default to this, other than that it would probablly be the baud rate only that is off, you could try outputing to the PC and try different baud rates until its legible.

I appreciate that help, but I am not sure if I really have "hole through" at all. When I punch in the number of the file, (which I want to transfer fom the machine) followed by the input key, then the control screen is supposed to show the lines that are being transfered/punched out, and it doesn't. I will try the diff. Baud rates and see what happens.

I have a few mauals and what I can see is: start bit is 1, stop bit is 2, and that leaves 8 for the whole character. does that translate into something that I need or did I fall off the rocker here?

I could send you a few pics of the "monitor options" but the email option does not allow attachments, so.....

Thanks a bunch so far. I have some testing to do. I will let you know how it goes.

Hi Al

Gone for a long time, but I'm back with further questions. I bought a RS232 line analyzer.
When it is hooked up to my 20SII lathe (Seiki Multi, with which I can communicate) I can see how it is working.
When I hook it up to my VK45 with Seicos 2,
1) I am lacking communication on my RTS line. It only gives one (1) very short flicker and it should flicker as long as it is transmitting
2) TD line turnd green (on the 20SII it is mixed red/green)
3) CD and DTR turns green as soon as I connect the cables. On the 20SII they stay red until I start the transmission. I have changed the 2 IC (75188 & 75189) on the board, but that did not help.

Can you help me please, or guide me to someone who can?

Thank you in advance, E.T.
