Device Configuration
 Note that in most cases the factory will configure the PAM for costumer use, and users will not
need to follow these steps to configure their devices. If you do need to configure your device yourself,
please continue.
The baud rate and the choice of RS485 or RS232 can be configured using the vrDeviceConfiguration tool.
These settings are stored in EEPROM on the PAM. Before beginning, make sure no other devices are connected to the PAM, and only attempt to configure
one PAM at a time.
- Connect the PAM to the ROV and power on everything.
- In the VideoRay Cockpit installation directory there will be a file named vrDeviceConfiguration.exe. Double click it. (The default
cockpit installation directory is C:\Program Files(x86)\VideoRay\vrCockpit)
- The Device Configuration utility will open.
Once you have verified the PAM is receiving power, click the "?" button to enumerate the PAM.
- The default setting for the
PAM is a generic protocol adapter which should not
be changed. Click the "ID" button to identify the PAM as such.
- To set the PAM to be RS485 capable, click the dropdown menu next to
"Device RS485" and select "Yes". If you are using RS232, leave this setting at "No".
- To set the Device Baud, click the dropdown menu next to "Device Baud" and click the setting your device uses.
- Press the Save Button to save the Accessory Device file for cockpit to use.
- Click the download button.
