use the “BCNCode” button and then the window icon at the top left of the window to 
edit-mark, cut, and paste the screen into another program for printing. 

 

“Read PA” button: Reads timing and 406 MHz hex message from PA.  See details in 
“Read ELT”. 

 

“Write ELT” button: Writes the 406 MHz hex message currently on screen into the 
ELT’s non-volatile memory. 

 

“Write PA” button: Writes the 406 MHz hex message currently on screen into the PA’s 
non-volatile memory. 

 

“Dump ELT” button: Do not use.  For engineering purposes only. 

 

“Dump PA” button: Do not use.  For engineering purposes only. 

 

“Dump BAT” button: Do not use.  For engineering purposes only. 

 

“vBits” button: This option will show the current hex code in binary format.  Click the 
“vBits” button again to close this display.  This function is for engineering purposes 
only. 

 

“View” button: This option will show the live RS-232 communication to and from the 
ELT.  The newly shown “CLR” button will clear the communication window.  This 
function is for engineering purposes only. 

 

14  Glossary of Software Errors and Error Messages 

 

Software lock up: Software lock up can occur for unknown reasons.  A defective ELT in 
remote cases may also cause the software to lock up.  In the rare circumstance where the 
software freezes, or locks up the host computer, the following procedure may be used.  
Press the “CTRL-ALT-DEL” keys together.  This will bring up a Windows task list.  
You should see the software routine (called Artex ELT Programmer) on the list.  Select 
it and chose “End Task”.  If prompted, chose “End Task” again.  If this does not close 
the program down, wait and then follow this sequence again. 

 

Red highlight during verification of message written to ELT: If the “verified” hex 
message appears red during a write to the ELT, the hex message read from the ELT did 
not properly match the hex message sent to the ELT.  The operation may be tried again.  
If it fails consistently, consider the ELT to be faulty and have it repaired. 

 

“Unable to open selected Comm Port!!”: This may mean you have selected the wrong 
COM port setting.  Check that your COM port setting matches the COM port used with 
the Level Shifter.  It may also mean other software has opened and occupies this COM 
port, even if that software isn’t in use.  Close other programs that may use this COM 
port.

“ELT Not Responding”: This likely means the baud rate setting is incorrect, the level 
shifter is off, the level shifter is not connected to the host computer, or the level shifter is 
not connected to the ELT.
