Creation

Serial Main connection

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SERIAL CONNECTION:

  • Direct connection:

    • Baudrate: Baudrate specified in the manual of the device, e.g., 9600.
    • Databits: Databits specified in the manual of the device, e.g., 7.
    • Stopbits: Stopbits specified in the manual of the device, e.g., 1.
    • Parity: Parity specified in the manual of the device, e.g., No.
    • FlowControl: FlowControl specified in the manual of the device, e.g., No.
  • Interface connection:

    • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
    • IP port: The required IP port of the device. The range of port numbers is 1 to 65535.
    • Bus address: The bus address of the device. Default value is 66, with a range of 64 to 90.

Usage

General

On this page, you can see and manipulate the Radiometers. Each request requires the Radiometer ID and Frequency and the Protocol Version Number found on the Advanced page. For all entries in the table, the Attenuation, Sky Noise, and Status are filled in. If there is a status message to show, it is displayed in the Error Description column.

Advanced

The RMS II Protocol Version Number must be filled in on this page to send correct requests to the RMS II device.

It is also possible to click Import File on this page, in order to immediately load radiometers from a .CSV file. If the file you want to import is not in the drop-down menu, you can Refresh the list. You can also Export Radiometers to a .CSV file, which will be stored in C:\Skyline DataMiner\Documents\SES S.A. RMS II. Imported files must be stored there as well. If there is a problem with importing or exporting, the Import/Export Status will display "Fail".

Normally, importing a .CSV file will not remove any existing rows in the Radiometers table. However, if the Auto Delete Radiometers option is enabled, only the imported .CSV rows will be displayed.
