INTRODUCTION
Sutron has designed the Xpert so that a Windows-based personal computer (PC) running its
XTerm program can setup and operate an Xpert without using the front panel. This is a necessity
for Xperts that do not have a touch screen display. XTerm supports several connection methods
and so can be used to access remote Xperts, e.g., those connected by modem. This section
describes how to use XTerm to communicate with an Xpert.
Sutron provides two versions of XTerm. One version is intended for desktop PCs running
Microsoft Windows. The other version is intended for PocketPC devices like the HP iPaq and
Dell Axim. The two programs perform essentially the same functions, with the biggest difference
being that XTerm for the PocketPC displays the Xpert screen rotated 90 degrees. XTerm does
this because the aspect ratio of the PocketPC screen is the same as the Xperts except rotated.
This ensures the user can see the Xpert screen with maximum resolution.
Installing XTerm
There is no special installation needed for XTerm on a desktop PC. Simply copy it to any folder
on your PC.
Always make sure you have the latest version of XTerm, which can be downloaded from
Sutron’s website. The version of XTerm on your PC can be found by selecting “About
XTerm…” in the XTerm System menu, which is accessed by clicking the “X” in the upper left
menu bar.
To install XTerm on a PocketPC, run its installation program from a desktop PC that already has
ActiveSync 3.1+ installed (this is a Microsoft program that is typically supplied by the vender of
your PocketPC device, and is typically installed as part of the software that comes with the
PocketPC. At the time of this writing, ActiveSync may be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync35.asp).
When you start XTerm, the following screen is displayed to allow you to specify and configure
the type of communication link that exists between XTerm and Xpert (desktop PC shown left,
PocketPC shown right):
