The switch marked with
point 6
activates the Master mode if the switch position is
ON
(left position). This
means that a module which operates in the Master mode controls communication. As the correlator
programme, i.e. the laptop, controls communication, the switch may remain at the
OFF
position, as can be
seen in Illustration 1-9. It is necessary to set the switch under
point 7
to the left to
ON
(see Illustration 1-9)
to make the module change into the so-called Slave mode. The Slave mode allows control of the module
through the laptop. In order to reset the module to the ex works settings, use the switch as shown under
point 8
. Set the switch to the
ON
position and apply power to the module, either externally or through the
plug-in connector (
point 4
). Then move the switch twice between
ON
and
OFF
. The module now resets to
the ex works settings. For regular operation with the correlator programme, the switch should be set to
OFF
.
1.3.5 System requirements for the correlator programme
The case containing the correlator box can also be purchased from F.A.S.T. GmbH without a laptop. In this
case, however, the following hardware-related requirements of the correlator programme should be met by
your own laptop:
Pentium or compatible CPU with 1 GHz or higher
1 GB RAM
Hard disc storage unit with 69.8 MB of available storage capacity
USB connection
CD/DVD drive
VGA / SVGA graphics card featuring a minimum resolution of 800 x 600 pixels
Mouse and keyboard
The installation of the correlator software requires the prior installation of any of the system softwares listed
below, including the necessary Service Pack, on your own device. If the software is installed on any other
system software, the programme may refuse booting.
Windows 2000 / Service Pack 4 --> 32bit
Windows XP / Service Pack 3 --> 32bit and 64bit
Windows Vista / Service Pack 1 --> 32bit and 64bit
Windows 7 / Service Pack 1 --> 32bit and 64bit
