PC requirements
The PC requires a properly configured ECP parallel port.
The PC does not have to be connected to the MTU-TXC
until you are ready to download or activate a schedule.
The software required is a text editor such as Notepad
or a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft™ Excel,
the Phoenix Generate Frequency Stepping Table utility,
the Phoenix WinHost program, and the Phoenix Raw
Parameter Table Interface.
To install the Phoenix PC software:
1. Insert either the CD-ROM or floppy disk into the PC
drive.
2. Run the Setup.exe program contained on the disk
and follow the on-screen instructions.
Configuring the parallel port
The Phoenix Raw Parameter Table Interface program
communicates with the MTU-TXC via a special cable
(part number 6218) and adapter (part number 6228)
connected to the PC’s parallel port.
The parallel port must be configured as an Extended
Capability Port (ECP). ECP provides a high-performance
bi-directional communication path between the PC and
the instrument. Your PC may already be configured to
use the ECP protocol, in which case you only need to
verify the setup if you experience problems using the
software. Otherwise, you will have to configure the port
in your computer’s CMOS Setup.
To determine the parallel port configuration:
1. Right-click on
My Computer
and choose
Properties
.
2. Click the
Device Manager
tab. (In Windows XP, click
the Hardware tab, then click the Device Manager
button.)
3. Expand the
Ports (COM & LPT)
entry by clicking the
plus sign to the left of it.
