At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The Serial Device Address. Factory Default is 1. |
| powerDisplayMode | Defines the display of gain or attenuation in the parameter section. |
| readBackDelay | Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances. |
| model | Sets the model SMR or DMR which should be controlled with the device. |
| module.1.enable | Defines the 1st module enable state. |
| module.2.enable | Defines the 2nd module enable state. |
| powerUpState | Defines the units transmit state after a power cycle. |
| units | Defines the measurement units displayed locally on the Front Panel which then also apply to the remote interface dBm,dBW or W. |
| refPwrMeas | Defines the desired reflected power measurement method. |
| localLockout | Defines the local lockout state. |
| limitLow | Defines the low rf level limit. |
| limitHigh | Defines the high rf level limit. |
| limit.Refl | Defines the reflected level limit. |
| deviceComment | An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines. |
