20 MONITORING THE FALCON 50 FROM A ‘PDA’
The Falcon 50 comes with a free software to be installed on a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) computer.
A PDA gives easy and immediate access to Falcon 50’s input and output levels and it can be used to switch
the curve currently aired and to import/export curves from/to a given location. For those reasons, the PDA
becomes an useful tool in particular when used with the processor in its ‘blind’ version. This way, one may
get I/O current status, alarm status and one can switch the curve at any time, with no need for a full-featured
computer.
The PDA may be connected either on the front USB socket, or on the rear USB socket of the Processor.
The application for the PDA is provided on the Installation CD ROM, in the PDA Software folder. Installation
software is on CAB format. A cabinet CAB file is a compressed file that holds all of the items necessary for
installing a program on your Pocket PC. Cab files are extremely portable because you do not need
Activesync in order to install a program on your Pocket PC. As long as the .cab file is on your device, then
you can perform the install.
