Baud rate on the S4

admin 2Member

Hi Fred,

As I had mentioned, I got my S4 set to 2400 baud rate playing with the Split Second NASTAR software. I set the S4 to the clear ja mode, and pressed the red and yellow buttons to do so. When I do a program/line test (toggle up), it still says bd1 and bd2 are at 2400...bd3 is at 4800. I am assuming I missed a step in getting the baud rate back to default of 4800?

Thanks

The S4 timer normally (default) sends data to PCs at 4800 baud, No parity, 8 start bits, 1 stop bit (4800,n,8,1). Users of the older Split Second (ussa) DOS programs had to force their S4s to 2400 baud in order to use displays with the same serial port. Sometimes this programming remains in the S4. Turn to Page 15,section 2.6 Set up of the options.

1) Hold yellow button down and the toggle switch up at the same time

2) Turn the S4 on

3) Release both

4) Select program by pressing the yellow button until the approriate number appears. Press red/yellow together when correct prgram appears.

5) Allow the timer to continue through the rest of the start up. Start the timer.

6) Press the delay switch down and watch the options scroll by. The Baud Rate # 3 must be 4800 to be correct.

7) Also check your memory status ( check this forum under "S4 stops transmitting times to the PC")
