Capen) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:31:11 AM PST US From: "Ralph E. Capen" Subject: Avionics-List: SL-70 Install /Configuration issues -> Installation Manual Working on an installation/configuration issue related to my SL-70. The latest Installation Manual I have is dated October 1999 and does not reference how to enable the EXTended mode or that it is available. It is available in the software in my SL-70 and I have been provided instructions to successfully enable the EXTended mode - but I would like to know if there are any other differences outlined in a later manual. Software currently in the SL-70 is MICR 015 and FPGA 1.1 from the set-up screen and offers the EXTended mode option in the configuration. Does anyone out there have a later version of the SL-70 Installation Manual? I want to make sure it is working properly while helping my ADSB equipment vendor! The SL-70 Installation Manual references the Altitude message only. I have the SL-70R manual dated September 2003 and there are enough differences that I am confident it does NOT fully apply to the SL-70! The SL-70R Installation Manual references the EXTended mode and "Mode" messages that are transmitted when the EXTended mode is enabled...hopefully, this info is also present in a later version of the SL-70 Installation Manual. Does anyone out there know how to 'capture' the RS-232 data as it is transmitted from the SL-70 in a readable format? I have a serial port on my computer connected to the TX pin from the SL-70 and set to 1200, 8, 1, N in HYPERTERM (old Windows software). It does capture the 'bursts' of data but the results are unintelligible on the software screen. The SL-70 Install Manual gives me a good idea about what I 'should' be seeing. Maybe I need special settings or special software! Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ralph Capen ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:45:31 AM PST US From: Ray Eaker Subject: Re: Avionics-List: SL-70 Install /Configuration issues -> Installation Manual I found what appears to be a 2003 manual that does not mention the R version. http://rv7-a.com/manuals/SL40Comm_InstallationManual.pdf Per this manual, you should be using the following RS232 settings: 9600, 8, 1, None On Wed, Jun 7, 2017 at 8:30 AM, Ralph E.
