| You need to test the RS232 interface on your machine to make sure it is hooked up and working correctly. You need a DB25 loopback connector with pins 2-3 and pins 6-20 connected. Next, start the Anilam RS232 Test procedure: [E-stop In][E-stop Out][Manual][Aux]2740[start] | Result value: 0 - successful test. 38 - board problem. 39 - software problem. |
