12 Thor VM3 with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 User Guide
VMXD Enhanced Dock
This dock is designed for use when the Thor VM3 is replacing a Thor VX8 or Thor VX9.
This dock utilizes the existing vehicle wiring from the earlier computer and supports
screen blanking through that wiring.
Note: For the VMX Enhanced Dock: COM1 is used for screen blanking (via the power cable
connector) and is unavailable when the screen blanking box is attached. When a screen
blanking box is attached, any external serial device such as a scanner, must be connected
to the COM2 port on the dock. If a screen blanking box is not connected via the power
cable, the COM1 port on the dock is available for a serial device.
Caution: This dock is designed for DC power vehicle-mounted
applications only.
