Controlling

 

the

 

PM1122

­

INT

 

with

 

Hercules

 

 

The

 

RS

232

 

port

 

of

 

the

 

PM1122

INT

 

will

 

commonly

 

be

 

used

 

by

 

a

 

third

 

party

 

device

 

to

 

steer

 

the

 

PM1122.

 

However,

 

it

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

change

 

parameters

 

and

 

default

 

settings

 

or

 

to

 

store

 

presets.

 

For

 

these

 

purposes,

 

communication

 

between

 

a

 

computer

 

and

 

the

 

PM1122

INT

 

becomes

 

very

 

handy.

 

If

 

you

 

use

 

a

 

PC

 

which

 

has

 

Windows

 

2000

 

or

 

XP

 

as

 

operating

 

system,

 

there

 

is

 

program

 

called

 

Hyperterminal

 

available

 

which

 

is

 

perfectly

 

suitable

 

for

 

this

 

purpose.

 

On

 

Vista

 

however,

 

this

 

program

 

is

 

no

 

longer

 

available.

 

Because

 

of

 

that,

 

we

 

decided

 

to

 

distribute

 

Hercules

 

SETUP

 

utility”.

 

This

 

is

 

a

 

freeware

 

program

 

from

 

HW

group.

 

It

 

can

 

be

 

found

 

at

  

http://www.hw

group.com/products/hercules/index_en.html

 

or

 

on

 

the

 

included

 

CD.

 

It

 

doesn’t

 

have

 

to

 

be

 

installed

 

so

 

you

 

can

 

run

 

it

 

directly

 

from

 

the

 

CD.

 

It

 

also

 

works

 

on

 

Windows

 

XP

 

and

 

has

 

some

 

nice

 

features

 

so

 

it

 

is

 

our

 

favorite!

  

 

Open

 

the

 

application

 

by

 

double

 

clicking

 

“Hercules.exe”.

 

Like

 

stated

 

before,

 

the

 

program

 

can

 

be

 

launched

 

directly

 

from

 

the

 

CD.

 

The

 

security

 

software

 

on

 

your

 

computer

 

might

 

block

 

the

 

program.

 

In

 

that

 

case,

 

click

 

“unblock”

 

to

 

continue.

 

The

 

first

 

time

 

the

 

program

 

starts,

 

the

 

following

 

screen

 

appears:
