Click the "Advanced" button to display the advanced settings dialog.

 

"Advanced settings" dialog

Device Mode

Select from the following two modes.

- Wireless I/O mode

  This is the standard mode.

  Select this mode when using this device with API-DIO(WDM) driver.

- Peer to Peer mode

  Select when using two products as a pair without using the master unit.

  It is necessary to set the Device ID of the paired device.

"Common Setting"
These are the setting items for all modes.

Tx Power

Set transmission output.

Normally, it uses the initial value of 13 (mW).

Bit Rate

Set the bit rate (communication speed).

Normally, it uses the initial value of 250 (kbps).

Request Timeout

Set the communication timeout time between the master unit and slave unit.

The initial value is 3000.

  Settable range: 1000 to 60000 (msec)

Aging Time

Set the connection maintenance time between the master and slave.

The initial value is 600.

Normally, use the default value, but if you have changed Data Interval setting,

We recommend changing the value to about 10 times Data Interval setting.

Also, when changing this setting, it is recommended to set the same setting for the master unit.

  Settable range: 60 to 36000 (sec)

Encryption Key

Set the encryption key used for communication between the master unit and the slave unit.

It is specified with 64 digit hexadecimal number, and the initial value is all 0.

Please specify 32 digits in each of the two setting fields.

In order for the master unit and the slave unit to communicate, the same value must be set in Encryption Key.

Digital Filter

Set the digital filter value at power on of this device.

The initial value is Disabled.

When using this device with API-DIO(WDM) driver, it is possible to set the digital filter at any time by API function separately from this setting.
