Updating Settings to Recorder Fault 

If there is an existing communication problem while using a USB serial converter the 

user can try to disable the Check Data Echo in SNMS option. This option will bypass 

data echo checks, resulting in less restriction on communication protocol. 

 

By choosing the Settings

 

menu and the Connection

 

option command the following 

window appears: 

Figure 1.7 Connection Options 

Disable the Check Data Echo in SNMS. Press OK and try to connect again. 

Comparison Test Error 

The comparison test takes place when the PC has sent all the settings data to the 

recorder and it reads the whole file back and compares to what was sent. Bad 

communication can cause errors in the information file when read back. If the data 

echo check is enabled it is guaranteed that the information file was transferred 

correctly to the recorder, therefore it is OK to disable the comparison test.
