Serial Converter can be used.
SetView download and Installation
Find the latest version of SetView on our website (
www.vravionics.com
) and install it onto your
Windows computer or laptop:
➔
Click on the
SetView Software
link found at (
www.vravionics.com/downloads.html
)
➔
Click on
Install
and run the setup.exe until all is successfully installed.
Bundled with the latest software are the latest firmware for all VR units in your system (EIU, TSLM,
PDC, FSM, etc.). This new firmware may provide new features or have corrected old problems.
Using SetView
Through its dedicated 9 pin maintenance connector the TSLM can link with your computer / laptop
connecting either directly to your computer’s serial port or via a USB-to-Serial converter.
➔
Plug in your USB-to-Serial converter (if you are using one) to your Laptop. If this is the first
time it have been plugged into a specific USB port, wait for Windows to recognize it and
successfully install its driver.
➔
Connect the USB-to-Serial converter serial port to the 9 pin maintenance connector.
➔
Run the SetView Software.
➔
Select from the main menu System > Serial Port. Confirm you have a COM port selected
and that it is the right one.
➔
Power the TSLM module (by switching on the aircraft’s master switch).
Reasons for failing to establish communication could be:
➔
Power was not applied to the TSLM, or
➔
The serial cable between the unit and the laptop is not connected properly, or
➔
The correct serial port was not selected, or
➔
The USB-to-Serial converter driver was not properly installed. If you have bought a new
USB-to-Serial converter, you first need to get it to work with Windows on your computer.
Plug only the USB-to-Serial converter into the laptop / PC, let Windows recognize it and
install the relevant driver first. Only when this is complete and Windows tells you that the
device is ready to be used, should you plug it into the TSLM, start the SetView software
and switch the power on.
