Extra Vegetables Zigen HX-88 driver
Page 4 of 8
We suggest that before you make the serial connection in Composer that you ensure that
the physical serial cable is connected and the Zigen HX-88 is switched on. You should
use the serial cable provided with the HX-88.
If you do this it allows the driver to immediately query the HX-88 for its status and
provide you with confirmation that the connection is good.
Once you have made the connection the Driver Information box will show the name of
the switch. This will be HX-88 as shown unless you have changed the name.
If the name is shown then you know the driver is successfully communicating with the
switch. If it is not you should check both your physical and Composer connections.
Test the Driver
You can now test the driver. If you highlight the matrix in System Design and double
click it the control window will appear.
This will show the current Input to Output
combinations highlighted in Green. You
can now control the matrix from this
screen. The green highlight will move to
the new input-output combination when
the driver receives confirmation from the
switch that the switch has been made.
You will also be able to follow the switch
changes on the front panel of the switch.
Once you are satisfied that all is working
correctly you can move onto making the
optional settings on the driver.
