[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1167115, member: 407744"] [USER=421263]@marrull[/USER] Manuals and some simple RS485 software are all here [URL='https://researchconcepts.com/product/rc2000/']Research Concepts, Inc. » RC2000[/URL] The manual tells you how to set it up and one of the steps is to manually set your location. I'm not sure about later versions than those listed but RC are quite responsive to queries. They charge a lot for firmware upgrades and I have never been sure if FPGA changes are needed when changing firmware. The full RS485 command set is in the manuals.
