Communication Settings

Configure communication settings for connected MicroPeckerX units in the Device Window.
Always complete these settings before starting monitoring.

Basic Operation​

Communication setup flow:

1. Open Device Window
   Select Device Window from the menu or toolbar.

2. Select target channel
   In the device list on the left side of Device Window, click Ch*-1 (* is 1 to 4). The Protocol Setting area changes to LIN bus communication settings.
   When using multiple MicroPeckerX units, configure each channel used for LIN bus monitoring.

3. Select revision and baudrate
   In Revision and Baudrate pull-down menus in Protocol Setting, select LIN revision and LIN bus baudrate from presets.

4. Select bit width
   In the BitWidth tab of Protocol Setting, select bit widths for SyncBreak and related items from presets.

5. Configure ID definition
   In the ID Definition tab of Protocol Setting, configure data length and checksum type per ID.

6. Configure wakeup pulse width and sleep time
   In the Wakeup/Sleep tab of Protocol Setting, select wakeup pulse width and sleep time from presets.

LIN bus communication settings are now complete.

Device Window Description​

Item		Description
Device List (Area 1)		Displays a list of MicroPeckerX units recognized by MicroPeckerX Control Software. You can enable/disable each channel by toggling the checkbox on the left of each channel.
button		Swaps the selected MicroPeckerX channel position with the one above it in Device List. For example, if a unit assigned to Ch2 is selected, it will be moved to Ch1 (the Ch1 unit moves to Ch2).
button		Swaps the selected MicroPeckerX channel position with the one below it in Device List. For example, if a unit assigned to Ch2 is selected, it will be moved to Ch3 (the Ch3 unit moves to Ch2).
Device Info	Serial	Displays serial number of the MicroPeckerX selected in Device List.
	Model	Displays model name of the MicroPeckerX selected in Device List.
button		Blinks green and yellow LEDs of the MicroPeckerX selected in Device List. Click again to stop blinking. This helps identify the selected device.
button		Re-detects MicroPeckerX units connected to the PC.
Protocol Setting (Area 2)		If a Serial row is selected in Device List, registered licenses on MicroPeckerX are shown. If a channel row is selected, the communication setting screen is shown. If an unrecognized device is selected, No Device is shown.

Protocol Setting​

Item	Description
Protocol Setting	Displays information of the selected channel.
Revision	Sets LIN revision. Select from: 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2A
Baudrate	Sets communication baudrate. Select from: 500, 600, 1k, 1200, 2400, 4800, 5k, 9600, 10k, 10417, 14400, 15k, 19200, 20k, 25k, Custom [bps]
Setting tab switch	Click BitWidth, ID Definition, or Wakeup/Sleep to switch items shown in Area 1. See: BitWidth ID Definition Wakeup/Sleep
button	Resets Protocol Setting values for the selected channel to defaults. See Device Setting Defaults.

BitWidth Tab​

In the BitWidth tab, you can set bit widths between fields in the header and response.

Item	Description
Sync Break	Sets bit width of header break field. Range: 10-26.
Sync Break Delimiter	Sets bit width between break field and sync byte field. Range: 1-20.
Header Space	Sets bit width between sync byte field and protected field. Range: 0-20.
Inter Frame Response Space	Sets bit width between header and response. Range: 0-20.
Inter Byte Space	Sets bit width between data bytes, and between data and checksum in response. Range: 1-20.
button	Resets only BitWidth tab settings of the selected channel to defaults. Revision, baudrate, and other tabs are unchanged. See Device Setting Defaults.
Header	Shows header bit length based on current bit-width settings. Values update immediately when any bit width is changed. If header length exceeds LIN limit (47.6 bits), Exceeds Max Header Length! is shown. Monitoring can still be started.
DL	When DL (data length) is selected from pull-down (1-8), LIN max frame bit length is shown in Max, and calculated frame bit length based on current settings and DL is shown in Total. Values update immediately when bit width or data length changes. If Total exceeds Max, Exceeds Max Frame Length! is shown. Monitoring can still be started.

ID Definition Tab​

In the ID Definition tab, you can configure data length and checksum type for each ID.

Item		Description	Notes
ID Definition Table (Area 1)	DL	Displays data length for each ID.	To change data length, use DL Setting.
	DL Setting	Sets data length for each ID. Leftmost cell means 1, rightmost means 8. Click a cell to change data length. When data length changes, DL display is updated.
	Checksum Type	Sets checksum type. Click Classic or Enhanced.
	ID number tab (00, 10, 20, 30)	Click tab to switch the top ID shown in the ID definition table. For example, clicking 10- makes top ID 10H.
On LIN1.3		Sets ID definition behavior for LIN revision 1.3. Fixed: fixed to standard ID definition (same as defaults). Edited: editable in ID definition table.	This setting is unavailable for revisions other than 1.3 (treated as always Edited).
button		Resets only ID Definition tab settings of the selected channel to defaults. Revision, baudrate, and other tabs are unchanged.	See Device Setting Defaults.

Wakeup/Sleep Tab​

In the Wakeup/Sleep tab, you can configure wakeup signal width and sleep transition conditions.

Item	Description	Notes
Wakeup Width	Sets wakeup signal transmission width in microseconds. Pull-down values: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000	Unavailable on revision 1.3 (fixed to 8-bit length).
Wakeup Wait	Sets wait time (ms) after receiving wakeup signal until LIN schedule starts (resume from sleep). Range: 0-100.	Applies only to master node.
Sleep Time	Sets LIN bus idle time (seconds) before automatic transition to sleep mode. Pull-down values: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10	Unavailable on revisions 1.3 and 2.0. Revision 1.3: follows Sleep by 25,000bit Idle (LIN 1.3 Only). Revision 2.0: fixed to 4 seconds.
Sleep by 25,000bit Idle (LIN 1.3 Only)	For revision 1.3, sets whether to auto-transition to sleep mode by idle time. ON: auto-transition after 25,000-bit idle time. OFF: no automatic transition to sleep mode.	Unavailable for revisions other than 1.3.

Device Setting Defaults​

Restores each Protocol Setting tab for the selected channel to installation defaults.

• Restores defaults for Revision, Baudrate, BitWidth, ID Definition, and Wakeup/Sleep.
• Does not affect other channels or other window settings.
