DATA STREAM TESTING
Some of the following sample fault-finding techniques suggest looking at the Data
Stream. There are many methods of viewing the data stream ranging from simple
indicator boxes, that will help diagnose wiring errors or breaks or loss of data, to RS232
data stream logging programs such as PATCH232.
5.4.1
RS232 Breakout or Indicator Boxes
The MAXPRO-Net
not require hardware handshake signals to be wired. Only three (3) wires - TX Data, RX
Data and Signal ground are required.
Using your RS232 test box, even high-speed data can be seen clearly as the LED
indicators flash quickly. This indicates that data is being generated but does not indicate
its speed or other characteristics.
After connecting all equipment, ensure that a light is displayed on the Data Breakout Box
for each direction. This means the TX Data line is connected. If using a multimeter to
determine the transmit pin, its voltage should be between -9V and -15V with reference to
the ground pin.
