Insert CPU adapter into the printer’s socket of your PC. Press <27> key to transmit and load information. Press
“ Write Data Smartjack” key inside Load Data window until 100% written. The program performs automatically the
confirmation of loading.
ATTENTION:
The program uses direct port access during data transfer. If parallel port is in use by other program
or device (e.g. older printer driver) communication may interfere with this other module. In this case a warning
message will appear:
‘No parallel ports available’
This is NOT a problem of the
VORTEX
tor
software. No other devices using the parallel port (like ZIP drives) will
work correctly or at all in this situation. Try to deactivate the program/driver that ‘captures’ the parallel port.
Despite the warning message you can still try to transfer data but the other module/program might get confused.
Data transmission to the
VORTEX
tor
The
VORTEX
tor
should be programmed using a transmission adapter (TR Box), delivered together with the
display. The TR Box is foreseen with three 4P4C phone jack, one to connect the display, the other two to insert the
TR BOX into a network line. Also, it is foreseen with a stereo jack (Smartjack type) for plugging the PPU (Fig.3).
A)
Programming your
VORTEX
tor
by using PPU
The programming unit (PPU) has been successfully programmed and can be removed from the programming adapter
(CPU).
For data transmission
you should
connect the functioning display to the TR Box and insert the loaded PPU into the
Smartjack. It needs a few seconds for it to verify the validity of the data stored in the PPU. After that, the display
turns into information transfer mode, visualized through the disappearing of the text and the appearance of luminous
pixels.
When the transfer process has been completed, the apparatus will display the new information as illuminated
holographic images circulating around the base. Now you can remove the PPU and optionally the TR Box.
If accidentally, the transfer process fails (displaying is intermittent or in the displaying zone appear unexpected
luminous pixels), you will have to repeat the procedure by taking out and re-plugging the PPU into the TR Box.
When this operation is of no help as well, we recommend you to re-plug the PPU in the CPU and ask for reading the
content of it.
If you want to mount the display in a place where the programming is difficult, you can connect the TR Box using a
non-inverting prolongation cable (max. 10 m) and 4P4C F-F adapter.
