Auto Baud
When enabled, the software will scan all available COM Ports using the most common baud
rates, until a radio is found. If no radio is found or the software cannot open the port, an error
message will be reported. The software will only use Auto Baud when prompted by the user
after an unsuccessful write process. To cancel the Auto Baud process, press the ESC key.
Auto Archive
When enabled, the software will archive the EEPROM settings for each radio after a successful
write process. Although not required, the software will prompt the user to type a description of
the changes made. Auto Archive can be used to restore the radio to a previously known working
configuration. The first time that a radio is read with Auto Archive enabled will be stored as the
“Original Configuration Settings” with the date and time the record was created.
Status Bar
Located at the bottom of the software, the status bar gives the state of Port 1, RTS Port 1, CTS
Port 1, Port 2, RTS Port 2, and CTS Port 2 lines. When the text appears black, the current state
will be shown. When the text appears gray, the current state will not be shown. The text shown
in the bottom status bar gives a simplified status of the current, pending software process. The
software has no pending process when “Communications Idle” is shown.
About Button
The About button can be pressed to determine the revision number of the software and the
contact information for Black Box. Please include the software revision number in any
correspondence with Technical Support.
