--- The operational parameters
--- The redundancy switching parametersThis page describes the device driver and the device window for the Vertex SCR series downconverter with serial interface and support for the StarSwitch redundancy switching.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.
--- The operational parameters --- The redundancy switching parametersConfiguration parameters
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 Downconverter.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device address (decimal) as set at the device's front panel. |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface |
