Suite 16 Testing & Program
ADA has developed a fully functional PC program for the Suite-16 System, the Suite-16 Test-
ing & Programming Software. Using this application, you can control a complete Suite-16
System. This program is also ideal for setting up a Suite-16 System, permitting you to make
use of all the system features. As many of these features are set and permanently stored in
the Suite-16, setup is typically a onetime procedure.
Use a straight-through 9-pin RS-232 cable when connecting to your PC or an external
control system.
In order to use the PC software, you need to have your PC connected to the Suite-16. There
are several options available to you. The AVP-16 features both a front panel and rear panel
RS-232 9-pin D connector. These two connectors are in parallel. As such, if another control
system or PC is connected to the rear panel jack, you cannot use the front panel. The same
is true if something were connected to the front panel and you desired to connect your PC to
the rear panel. Only one of these two connectors can be used at any one time. As described
on the previous page, if you are using an external control system and wish to, from time to
time, connect a PC to the front panel jack (for service and setup), you may select to include an
ADA ISO-232 ADA Bus to RS-232 Converter to the system. The ISO-232 can be used for the
external control system while the front (or rear panel) RS-232 port on the AVP-16 can be used
for connection to your PC. If you do not have an ISO-232 and are using an external control
system, disconnect the control system prior to connecting your PC.
ADA strongly suggests using an ISO-232 for external control systems because it pro-
vides additional electrical isolation and assists in preventing ground loops.
Configuration Page
The first page will ac-
cess is the Configura-
tion page. Here you will
need to select your
Com port. The Global
Version Request button
will request the version
numbers of the P-16
and V-16 modules. As
these cards’ programs
are loaded at ADA,
knowing the program
release numbers will be
useful if service issues
arise. This page also
permits you to test au-
dio and video inputs
using the Input/Output
Test area at the bottom
of this page.
