System PC Controller Application Software
Advanced control of the system is available by using the PC control
application software. Typically users may want to customize the default configurations to con-
trol settings such as frequency, scrambling keys, modulation parameters, and video resolution.
The transmitter is controlled by the application DTC_tx_ctrl_v1_3.exe (or higher)
available on the CD delivered with the product.
A PC is required with an available RS232 Serial COM port to control the transmitter.
Installation of the control program is as simple as copying the file from the CD to a suitable
location on the PC. No install shield routine is launched. Note that the application generates its
own log and initialization files, so it is best to create a dedicated directory for these applica-
tions, perhaps with links to the applications from the desktop of the PC.
Getting Started
Use the supplied programming cable
to connect the chosen COM port
of your PC to the transmitter to be
configured.
Launch the application by double
clicking or using the Run...
command.
Connection with a transmitter should
be automatic, but the user can force
selection of the correct COM port
using the drop down, followed by the
Connect button.
Select the channel to be configured
from the unit’s front panel
Channel Switch.
Click Refresh in the application to
display the current configuration.
Update the current settings in the ap-
plication, then click Apply to save to
memory.
