CONFIGURATION

All Configuration parameters are adjustable using the Windows

95 'PC Control Software' and serial cable provided with the PMX84. The

PC Control Software provides programs for various ADVANTAGE

products, including the PMX84. The PMX84 program includes multiple

control screens, which are described on the following pages. Factory default settings are shown on each screen. Once the software is

started (and Comm Port Configuration is set), various screens are accessible through the drop-down menus at the top of the opening

screen. The Mix screen appears whenever a PMX84 file is opened. Additional control screens are then available from the Configure

PMX84 menu. The File menu provides functions such as open, close, save, etc. Pre-programmed files are provided with the PC Control

Software, which can be downloaded to the PMX84 for typical applications, such as page routing & room combining. The Settings menu

recalls the Comm Port Configuration screen. The Window menu arranges the active product screens. The Help menu explains the

available adjustments. To install the Windows

95 PC Control Software: Select ‘Run” from the Windows

95 ‘Start’ menu, then type

A:\SETUP and click ‘OK’. System Requirements: Windows

95 with 8MB RAM & 2MB available hard disk space A serial port is required

for actual ‘on-line’ operation and control of a PMX84).

MIX SCREEN

The Mix screen allows direct control of the individual Matrix Switch (input/output) Assignments and the Logic Outputs of the PMX84. The

Mix screen is divided into two sections. The upper section affects the Matrix Switch Assignments and the lower section affects the

Logic Outputs. Left-clicking a Matrix Switch Assignment or a Logic Output will ‘toggle’ it on or off. Right-clicking will instead open a pop-

up menu, which allows Matrix Switch Assignments & Logic Outputs to be turned on & off individually or in groups. The Mix screen provides

a graphic display of all current Matrix Switch Assignments and Logic Outputs, as well as allowing real-time control of the PMX84. The title

bar at the top of the Mix screen shows Device Number, custom Device Name, & Model of the product being controlled. The PC Control

Software can operate ‘off-line’ (no product connected) by opening a ‘new’ file for the desired product. The Device Number for ‘off-line’ files

is assigned sequentially as a negative number. NOTE: Files are available for downloading during Configuration, which are designed for

specific applications (see Applications on pgs. 16~21).
