Communication port Setup

Serial connection

Set the serial port used by the Simulator for External mode in the Serial simulation.

If no port is selected, external mode is disabled.

Ignition input

Set which digital input is used for the dedicated ignition input signal in the RTCU Simulator.

This allows simulation of unit with different hardware configurations. For example on the RTCU NX-200, this would be input 5, and on the RTCU LX5, it is input 1.

Board Serial number

The serial number of the simulator is always 999999XXX, where the last three digits are configured here.

The serial number is returned with the function boardSerialNumber() and is also used as the node id when the simulator connects to an RTCU Communication Hub.
