5. Serial Port Setup File Format
The COM port and timeout period settings can be changed with the setup file “serialPort.txt”. However, even if the
settings are changed after startup, the setting change is not reflected because these settings are made during
system startup. If there is an error in the setup file, an error message appears and the GP setting tool is not
activated. The COM port and timeout period cannot be changed independently. Therefore, when changing either
COM port or timeout period, both COM port or timeout period must be set together. If the setup file does not exist
in the same directory, the default settings of the COM port and timeout period are used.
• Type a COM port name using capital alphabets on the first line.
If small letters (e.g. com) are entered, an error occurs.
• Type a timeout value in second on the second line.
A value from 1 to 300 (seconds) can be set. If a value outside this range (e.g. –1, 0, or 400) or a fractional value
(e.g. 1.5) is entered, an error occurs.
If these settings are entered on other lines or space or other characters are used before or after the port name and
timeout value, an error occurs.
