Application layout
The basic layout of the proAtoN application is illustrated in the following figure:
COM Port Selection
When connected via USB the COM port associated with the transceiver will be listed in the selection
drop down. To connect to the transceiver select the ‘AIS AtoN Port’ option from the drop down and
click the ‘Connect’ button.
Read / Write Configuration
Clicking the left hand button will transfer current configuration information from the transceiver to
proAtoN. Clicking the right hand button will configure the transceiver with the information currently
displayed in proAtoN. It is possible to select transfer of configuration information relating only to the
currently selected tab, or to all tabs by clicking the drop down arrow to the right of each button. The
default operation for each button is to read or write data relating to the selected tab only. It is highly
recommended that prior to deploying the AtoN the “Send all Configuration” option is used on the write
button.
