3. Basic operation. (Windows XP and Vista forms have a slightly different appearance)
It is important that you read ‘Appendix A - General notes on connecting your USB system’. This will
help to avoid any issues you may find when starting to monitor your S5 series system.
When the application starts, the PC will check the USB sub-system to discover any S5 series receivers.
If no Trantec USB hardware is detected then a warning window is presented.
If USB hardware is detected, the PC first checks the USB connection type then reads and confirms
receiver parameters from each device. This information is displayed in a window as below.
The default setting after installation is for the PC not to load a frequency file into the system but to
display the receiver front panel information. In this mode the hardware is only updated via the right click
panel. See below.
If ‘Load file on Start’ has been selected under the ‘File’ menu, the file for the last set of frequencies used
is opened and compared to the data read from the receivers. If the data matches, then the system is
configured for this file. If the receiver and file data do not match, then you are asked if you would like to
load the file data anyway. A countdown timer will allow 10 seconds for the operator to confirm a file load.
If the countdown expires then the system starts using the receiver hardware data. This situation may
arise when a PC is moved and connected to a different set of receivers. By default the system will not
load the file but present the receiver data.
