Michael Sibayan 1.1 1 CSAT3 control box has been modified with an RS232 to RS422 transceiver to allow for a longer transmission line at 19.2 kbps
2 Using USConverters.com device, however, any comparable converter should work.

6 CSAT3 is set to the following configuration with the corresponding commands:
Michael Sibayan 1.1 7 rs 1 - AA55 synchronization code
Wei-Ren Ng 2.2 8 br 1 - Baud rate 19.2 kbps
Michael Sibayan 1.1 9 ri 1 - RTS independent
Wei-Ren Ng 2.2 10 & - Unprompted mode
11 Ae - 60 Hz Execution Parameter/Acquisition rate.

21 The default buffer size of the cRIO controllers is 4096 Bytes. Currently, the cRIO is programmed to read 720 Bytes or 60 measurements on the COM port. However, only the first measurement or first 12 Bytes is processed to update the shared variable every second.
