2. Start PC-CDU, and connect to the receiver according to the

settings described in “PC-CDU Connection Parameters” on
page 2-22.

Once a PC-CDU connection with the receiver has been
established, the current communications settings—such as port
name, baud rate (if applicable), and flow control (if applicable)—
display in the lower-left corner of the main window of PC-CDU.
A timer begins to count up in the lower-right corner as well
(Figure 3-1).
