System information

Configuration Screen:
This screen may be accessed by selecting the Configuration option in the Edit
Menu. Configuration options are available on the tabs shown. Please note that
this area has been extensively redesigned in this version.
Decode Configuration Tab:
This screen has all of the general
configuration options for radio being
used to decode the control channel
data.
Communications :
In the Communications area, you
may select the serial port number
that will be connected to your Pro-96
scanner. This option may not be
changed while the program is
reading data from the Pro-96.
Decoding Scanner Type :
This setting determines how Pro96Com will look for the control channel data.
How this information is obtained from the scanner is very different depending on
the scanner model being used.
Latency :
The Latency setting controls the amount of time between requests to the Pro-
(20)96. Setting this option too high will degrade the decode rate dramatically.
Setting this option to 0 will remove all delays between requests. Using a setting
of 0 on a single processor machine will cause heavy use of the CPU and may
slow down other applications on the computer considerably.
Note: The Latency setting has no effect when using the PSR-500/PSR-600 as
decode radios.
