MODEL VSA-X21
2.
Using the Software
2.1.
General
For most installations the use of the software GUI is not required as most functions
can be performed using the front panel buttons on the product.
The software GUI allows the user to customize many of the VSA-X21 features to
help with installation issues and usage.
You can use the software to import/export EDID files from the device. Custom EDID
data can also be written to devices connected to the output if they support that
function.
It is possible to connect more than one VSA-X21 to the PC (using several USB ports
of the PC). The same software GUI detects all connected devices and allows control
from the same application.
2.2.
USB Device Detection
The VSA-X21 software uses standard Windows® drivers, which automatically
configure the USB port after connection and do not require the installation of any
special USB drivers.
The first time you connect the VSA-X21 to the PC, you may experience a short
delay and a windows notification pop-up message may be shown.
2.2.1.
The software GUI scans the VSA-X21
settings continuously in real time, all
device changes are immediately reflected
on the software GUI.
2.2.2.
If no VSA-X21 device is attached to the
system, the on-screen fields are disabled
(grayed out).
2.2.3.
Only one instance of the software GUI can run at
a time. Attempting to execute the application
more than once will result in a warning message.
The new device detection and driver auto installation typically only occurs
once. Thereafter, reconnected devices are detected with no delay or
message.
