East Tester ET5410 ET5420 ET5411 ET54 series - Software
romany:
I have a ET5420 with a USB interface on the back - and so far trying to communicate to it has been a failure. I have 2 types of USB to DB9 converters - both work on my linux PC using a terminal program and shorting TX/RX together. One of these converters apprently does not work on the 5420 - I have no voltage on TXD - the other converter I do - so I'm using that one to connect to the 5420. I'm using a DB9 to DB9 "null modem" - since I'm connecting a DTE to a DTE - and also a gender changer. So far zippo. I tried using East Tester software (using a Window VM in Virtualbox running on a host linux system) - the java based Test controller via linux - an async terminal program (linux) - I can't seem to get an response from the 5420. As I mentioned one USB to DB9 converter definately did not work - the other one seemed to work (at least I had an RS232 signal on TXD when I connected). Does anyone have a USB to DB9 vendor specific dongle that they have successfully used? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks...
EDIT: I think there may be some issue with the VCC/Grn power on the USB interface. From pin 1 and 4 Ion the USB interface should see (from what I read) 5VDC - I see 2.6VDC. I traced the connections back to the PCB mounted on the front - and it also shows 2.6VDC on the connectors. At this point in time unless someone has any suggestions I'm stuck. What would be really nice if they still had a RS232 interface on the board somewhere - there is a DB9 cutout on the back of the case that would be easy to wire up. Anyway comments/ suggestions would be appreciate - otherwise I'll mark this science project incomplete but done :-)
2nd Edit: OK....so there is a RS232 interface chip on the front PCB board...I connected TXD/RXD/Grd from that chip to a DB9 interface - and I can at least (partially) able to communicate to the 5420. On the Test Controller software this is the message I get:
Physical Port S0 (ttyS0) Device ET5420 do not match: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ,V1.02.2127.002,09422132071,V1.03.2136.003
It's able to pull the software version from the unit. Any suggestions where to go from here?
Edit 3: I modified the Device file so that the idString now has ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ and I can get by that error message. On my until - in the SYS INFO area - the PRODUCT MODEL field is blank - the software/hardware versions are there - and that info was able to be pulled. I just verified that the native program from East Tester also now works (under a Virtualbox VM)...

It works fine choosing the different mode-settings, and the ET5410 display adjusts accordingly, but actually dialing in a given value by the 1-9 number + enter or using the big dial in the center' or some of the shortcuts ... it won't adjust to these values... I have tried to run the program in win7 combability and with admin rights.(it made no difference).

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. Have you been able to find any missing settings by now?
I would be very grateful for any information!
Thanks and regards

Hello, we are currently trying to learn about the update process of the ET44XX and ET45XX lcr-meters.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/east-tester-et4410-desktop-lcr-meter/msg5542409/#msg5542409
I would like to do some comparisons with the ET54XX electronic load. Did anyone download that update files and could share them?
BennoG:
I had downloaded the software in 2021. V1.1.07
and also some documentation.
There is also a rar file of 230MB (too big to post here)
If there is interest in the big file I can post it somewhere.
