About the Software with your PRORXD
The PRORXD has two software elements:
Firmware that operates on the primary board of the device.
Control Pages that you operate on your web browser on your Windows PC.
About the Firmware
Although much of the unit is built up of hardware components, many of the sophisticated features are done
in the firmware operating on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the device.
When you must do an internal software upgrade we can give you an installer which contains all the code to
do this easily.
About the Control Pages
The software tools give users a convenient access to the most usual features and functions of the device.
All software tools are implemented as a web interface. The advantage of a web interface is that it is
independent from the user’s operating system and it is not necessary to have special software on the host
PC.
The Control Panel on the front of the unit gives access to many of the features of the radio but for more
sophisticated operations and configuration tasks you’ll connect up a PC operating a web browser to access
the Control Pages on your PRORXD.
The Control Pages enables you to set up sixteen presets in the radio and have control of many parameters of
the unit.
Here’s what one of the PRORXD Control Pages look like:
