Connecting the PC to the Interface
Once the user is familiar with the software and its functionality, the PC running the software
should be reconnected to the Interface with the serial cable as explained in "Setting Up the
Emulator Hardware" on page 7. Once this has been completed, the software connection
set-up will need to be configured so that the Interface and PC can communicate with each
other.
Selecting a PC Communications Port
Take the File, Options menu options, and then select the PC Communications tab.
The software will display the following screen:
The software can handle one or two Interfaces. It does this by employing two COM ports.
Each of these ports can be assigned to a set of loops, 1 - 4 and 5 - 8. Use the drop down
windows here to select either COM1 or COM2 for each range of loops.
NOTE: If a second interface is NOT fitted (Loops 5 to 8) a connection should NOT be
specified, in other words left as “Not Connected”.
