OTWINCFG Configuration Program
The OpenTracker USB can be configured using the otwincfg.exe program under
Windows. The program is available for download at
http://www.argentdata.com/support.
Connect the tracker and start the configuration program. The first window
displayed allows you to select the COM port that the tracker is connected to.
11.1.
Overwriting an Invalid Configuration
The ‘Erase device and load new firmware’ option will load a new firmware
image, using the default configuration settings, without attempting to read the
existing configuration first. This is particularly useful if the tracker has an invalid
or missing configuration.
11.2.
Turbo Mode
By default, the configuration program will attempt to connect at 115,200 baud. If
you have trouble connecting, use the ‘Disable Turbo’ option to force the program
to connect at 19,200 baud.
11.3.
Auto-detect ports
Selecting this option will cause the program to constantly scan all of the ports
and display which are available. Connecting the tracker via USB while this
option is checked will cause the program to automatically connect. On some
systems this option may cause trouble connecting; disable it if you experience
problems.
