Software
The system can be configured via an antenna internal software. To enter the program,
you have to connect the serial interface of an ordinary PC to the serial interface of the
antenna. For the antenna type HG 98860ZA either the Götting adapter cable
HW CAB00113 (see section 5.4.2 on page 44) or an interface converter RS 422 ->
RS 232 is necessary. Once all the connections have been set up, start a terminal pro-
gram on the PC.
NOTE!
The interface converter is not part of the system´s scope of sup-
ply! However, it is available from several well-known distributors,
as e. g. RS components
http://www.rs-components.com/
. Please
refer to the section „Industrial Interface Converters“ of the RS
components catalogue.
5.1
Terminal Program
In the following we will refer to the program
HyperTerminal
®
(
Hypertrm.exe
), which
was part of the scope of supply of Microsoft® Windows® up until version XP. We prefer
the use of this program because it is easily available for many users and, due to the
supplied configuration files, it is very easy to use.
Nevertheless, any other terminal program can be utilized, provided that it enables
VT52 emulation. If you should use a different program, please read its documentation
carefully and adjust it to the values given in section 5.2 on page 30.

Parameter Settings
Depending upon what you want to do (starting the monitor program or the software up-
date), different parameters are necessary. If you are using HyperTerminal, you do not
need to enter these settings and can go straight on to section 5.3 on page 31.
