Micro USB Cable Communications
You must be using a USB compatible CAT software and have installed the Luminex USB driver on your
computer.
Install the Luminex USB Drivers
on page 16 for instructions on loading the driver.
1. Ensure your Luminex and computer are turned
On
and are fully booted.
2. Each end of the USB cable has a different connection plug. Insert the micro end of the USB cable
into the USB B (client) micro port on the back of the Luminex and the other end into a USB port on
the computer.
3. Start your CAT software.
4. Set your realtime options. In Case CATalyst V16.04 and higher, select
Stenograph Writer USB
on
the Translate Realtime tab. In Case CATalyst V10 - V16.03, select
Diamante - USB
or
élan - USB
,
V4.096 - V9, select
élan - USB
. Please check with your CAT software vendor if you are not using
Case CATalyst.
This is a USB connection. COM port settings do not apply.
5. Write a few strokes on the Luminex before starting realtime. If you loaded a dictionary onto your
Luminex, the translated steno displays on the tilting screen.
The USB realtime connection allows you to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and maintain
the realtime
connection.
For example, if you disconnect from the USB port to report a bench
conference and then reconnect when finished, the USB realtime connection will feed the strokes
written during the bench conference. Please check with your CAT vendor to see if this capability is
available with your CAT software if you are not using Case CATalyst.
6. When you are finished writing realtime using a USB cable, it is important that you complete the
following steps in order. This ensures your computer shuts down properly.
a. Press
End
on the Luminex to close the file.
b. Close and save the realtime file.
c. Unplug the Luminex USB cable from your computer and the Luminex.
If the USB realtime connection is active when you take a break, the realtime screen may not
display new steno strokes when you resume writing. This may happen when the USB port becomes
inactive after remaining idle for a period of time. If this occurs, disconnect the USB cable from the
back of the Luminex and reconnect it. The realtime file is not affected. Reconnect the cable to display
the new steno strokes on the realtime screen.

disabling USB port power saving features to avoid an inactive connection.
