Apex III Dock User’s Manual 3 Dock Setup And Operation
COAM30003 Rev. 1.04 09/03/01 3-10
Apex III PDT Communications
Note: The Apex III Dock contains an Infrared (IR) transceiver,
which converts a RS-232 signal (Rx) to Infrared light
pulses or Infrared light pulses to a RS-232 signal (Tx).
Pulses sent through the Dock IR Window are received by
the Apex III PDT via the built-in IR port. No cable
connection is required between the Apex III and the Dock.
1. Place the Apex III PDT in the Dock in the “At Rest”
position (refer to the Initial Setup section of this manual).
Note: The Compsee Product Support CD packaged with your
Apex III PDT includes a copy of a DOS based File
Transfer Utility program
[dx.exe] and the Windows
Transfer Utility (WXU) application. The WXU
application is a Windows

based File Transfer Utility that
assists users or developers in transferring files to or from
the Apex III PDT. Refer to the Online Help Files included
with both applications for usage information. In addition,
you should become familiar with the communications
parameters discussed within the Apex III PDT Technical
Reference Manual (TRM - also included on the CD in
Adobe

Acrobat

format). If your version of the Compsee
Product Support CD does not contain a copy of either of
these utilities or an updated edition of the Apex III-TRM,
contact Compsee, Inc. Technical Support or download a
copy from the Compsee, Inc. website at:
www.compsee.com .
2. Prepare the Apex III PDT and PC or other serial device
being used for the communications process as described in
the Apex III PDT Technical Reference Manual – included
on the Compsee Product Support CD.
3. Begin the communications process with the Apex III PDT
per the Apex III PDT Technical Reference Manual. Once
the communications process has begun, the appropriate
communications LED on the Apex III Dock (Tx or Rx) will
flash indicating that the communications process is in
progress.
