Autoware S8456 Trouble Shooting Guide for RS-232 Interface
Error - 1073807343: Incorrect COM Port (OMNIA)
Background: Automating your testing procedure requires that you interface a computer with your OMNIA. In order to do this you can use the Autoware software to communicate with the OMNIA in one of two ways: via an RS-232 interface or via a GPIB interface. If you have selected to use an RS-232 interface your computer uses a serial port, which it labels "COM" followed by a number from 0-x (i.e. COM1). If Autoware tries to communicate with the OMNIA using the wrong COM port you will receive an error message.
Solution: In order to fix this problem you need to make sure that you have identified the correct COM port so that Autoware can talk successfully to the OMNIA.
- From the startup screen select Setup System Parameters located in the Window Menu.
- Under the Primary Unit tab, the first field asks you to select the communications protocol to use. Make sure that this parameter is set to "Serial."
- The next field asks you to select which number port to use. Make sure that you select the number that corresponds to the port you have the RS-232 cable plugged into. *NOTE: You can click the View Available Communications Connections button to determine which COM port is being used.
- Select Save and Close located in the File Menu to return to the startup screen.
