3.2.2 USB 2.0 Interface
There are two USB 2.0 Interface ports on the STVI unit. These ports are used for upgrading firmware to
the MRCT unit, or upgrading the STVI software using a USB Memory Stick. They may also be used in
conjunction with a USB mouse for ease of manual control, even a USB wireless mouse maybe used with
the STVI.
Ethernet Port
is a 10/100BaseTX port, and is the primary PC connection port. This port supports
MDI/MDI-X auto cross over configuration, which means both standard and “crossover” Ethernet cables
may be used. The SMRT comes standard with a crossover cable. This port may also be used to
interconnect multiple SMRT units together for synchronous multi-phase operation.
3.3 Smart Touch View Interface
Depending on how the unit was ordered, the MRCT can be controlled using the integrated display, an
STVI, or a personal computer using PowerDB Lite software. All three of these methods of control will
have the same user interface in the software and this will be outlined throughout.
For units being controlled with the integrated display or the STVI, the system will perform several self
checks upon power up. Once these checks are complete the Introduction Screen will appear, see the
following figure.

Introduction Screen
Shortly afterward the screen will change to the instrument connection screen if the MRCT is being
controlled with either an STVI or a laptop.
