mode.
The CTXD USB function is for use with the ARGUS PCUW software. The
software requires WINDOWS XP, 2000 or NT to operate. The CTXD-30-H is fully
plug and play and requires no driver installation.
The CTXD-30-H automatically switches into USB mode when connected to a
computer USB port. The LCD shows the following graphic to indicate that the unit
is in USB mode. Once the unit is in USB mode, the buttons no longer perform
any functions.

There are three ways in which the CTXD-30-H can be used in USB mode.
1. Connected to a PC running the ARGUS PCUW software. The unit acts as
a power source for the antenna, as well as a USB to AISG converter. This
is the most common way to use the unit in USB mode. To use the CTXD-
30-H in this mode, refer to the ARGUS PCUW software
2. Connected to a PC running the ARGUS upld_CTXD-30-H.exe software.
This program allows the user to upload new software to the CTXD-30-H.
This option is used when there are new releases of software.
3. Bootloader mode. With the unit connected to a PC running the
upld_CTXD-30-H software, the user turns on the CTXD-30-H and whilst
the LCD screen reads :
‘BOOTING…’
press the ‘Decrease’ and ‘Scroll Info’ buttons simultaneously. There is
approximately 3 seconds to do this (indicated by LED 3 being on for the
duration of the 3 seconds). Pushing these buttons forces the unit into
bootloader mode, provided that the computer is still connected via usb.
The user may then upload new software for the CTXD-30-H. This option is
only to be used if the software on the CTXD-30-H is corrupted and needs
to be replaced
