Communications Setup and Operation 
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer  
134 
6.2.1. COMMUNICATION MODES 
Either of the analyzer’s serial ports (RS232 or COM2 on rear panel) can be configured 
to operate in a number of different modes, which are described in . 
Table 6-1: COMM Port Communication Modes 
MODE
1
 ID 
DESCRIPTION 
QUIET 
Quiet mode suppresses any feedback from the analyzer (DAS reports, and warning 
messages) to the remote device and is typically used when the port is communicating with 
a computer program such as APICOM. Such feedback is still available but a command 
must be issued to receive them. 
COMPUTER  
Computer mode inhibits echoing of typed characters and is used when the port is 
communicating with a computer program, such as APICOM. 
HESSEN 
PROTOCOL 
16 
The Hessen communications protocol is used in some European countries. Teledyne 
API’s part number 02252 contains more information on this protocol. 
E, 7, 1 
2048 
Allows the COMM port settings to be set between either 
No parity; 8 data bits; 1 stop bit (ON/OFF) 
to 
Even parity; 7 data bits; 1 stop bit (ON/OFF) 
RS-485 
1024 
Configures the COM2 Port for RS-485 communication. RS-485 mode has precedence 
over Multidrop mode if both are enabled. When the COM2 port is configured for RS-485 
communication, the rear panel USB port is disabled. 
SECURITY 
When enabled, the serial port requires a password before it will respond. The only 
command that is active is the help screen (? CR).  
MULTIDROP 
PROTOCOL 
32 
Multidrop protocol allows a multi-instrument configuration on a single communications 
channel. Multidrop requires the use of instrument IDs. 
ENABLE 
MODEM 
64 
Enables sending a modem initialization string at power-up. Asserts certain lines in the RS-
232 port to enable the modem to communicate. 
ERROR 
CHECKING
128 
Fixes certain types of parity errors at certain Hessen protocol installations. 
XON/XOFF 
HANDSHAKE
2
 
256 
Disables XON/XOFF data flow control also known as software handshaking. 
HARDWARE 
HANDSHAKE 
Enables CTS/RTS style hardwired transmission handshaking.  This style of data 
transmission handshaking is commonly used with modems or terminal emulation protocols 
as well as by Teledyne Instrument’s APICOM software. 
HARDWARE 
FIFO
2
 
512 
Improves data transfer rate when one of the COMM ports. 
COMMAND 
PROMPT 
4096 
Enables a command prompt when in terminal mode.
