USING ARRAY II
1. To open Array II, click on the the Array II Icon the installer placed on your desktop. This will open
the screen shown below.
Notice that the opening screen contains 4 separate windows. Their appearance will change as you
step through the setup procedure.
The window in the lower right corner contains step by step instructions. Initially, it reminds you that
the USB to RS422 converter/adapter must be installed. It also must be connected to the steerable
column array(s) used in the system and the power to the system turned on.
2. Go to the
Open COM Port
pull down menu and select the COM Port being used by the USB to
RS422 converter/adapter.
If you aren’t sure which COM Port is being used by the USB to RS422 converter/adapter you can
find out by going to the
Device Manager/Ports (COM & LPT)
in your computer’s
System Folder
.
Another way is to simply go through the COM Port listing one by one. The program will tell you if you
choose one that is unavailable or in use, and when you hit the right one will load column loudspeak-
er icons into the Speaker Array window. See example on next page. (Hint, it probably will be either
COM Port 3 or COM Port 5.)
At this point you have the opportunity to switch into a Demo Mode and familiarize yourself with the
program before using it in an actual system. Go to the
Read Array
drop down menu to view this
option. We’ll use Read Array instead of Demo Mode in our example.
