PROGRAMMING

System PC Controller Application Software

Advanced control of the system is available by using PC control
applications. Typically users may want to customize the default
configurations to control settings such as frequency, scrambling keys,
modulation parameters, and video resolution.

The transmitter is controlled by the application 

DTC_tx_ctrl.exe

available on the CD delivered with the product.

A PC is required with an open RS232 Serial COM port to configure a
transmitter.

Installation of the control program is as simple as copying it from the CD
to a suitable location on the PC. No install shield routine is launched.
Note that the application generates its own log and initialization
files, so it is best to create a dedicated directory for the
application, perhaps with a shortcut to the application
from the desktop of the PC.
