Device Menu
The device menu is used to manage the attached device. The following is a description of each menu item.
Connect
Connect to the attached device using the serial port.
That COM port must be connected to COM1 on the device. When the OK button is clicked the GUI waits for a manual reset of the device. You must cycle the device power during this time in order for the GUI to make the connection. You must ensure that you click the OK button before doing the reset. Wait until the status bar message indicates that the GUI is waiting. If you want you can also click the Cancel button to break out of the connection request.
Once the connection is made, a message is displayed in the status bar. The other Device menu items are enabled and the Connect menu item is disabled. The Connection Status is set to 'connected'.
Disconnect
Close the connection to the attached device. This option will put the RIO900 into run-mode.
Reset
Request the device to do a soft reset. This is equivalent to cycling the power on the device. The device is disconnected with the same action as the Disconnect menu item.
Config
Read, write, and initialize the configuration stored in the device's flash memory.
Info

Click the 'Get' button to read the device's date/time. Click the 'Set' button to set the device date/time to the value in the 'Device Date/Time' text box. This text box can be edited to any valid date/time. Click the 'Close' button to close the Info window.
