4.1 Operation
This support program can be run in MS-
Windows © mode.
DO NOT have more than one copy of this pro-
gram loaded at any given time in separate win-
dows. Doing so creates COM port sharing con-
flicts and failure to run the program alone results
in unexpected transmissions.
Only left mouse button operation is supported.
Any command or selection shown in gray is ei-
ther unavailable or is awaiting another action
before activating.
Help in the program is available at all points by
pressing the F1 key. If a subject is highlighted,
the help displayed will be context sensitive.
4.2 To connect and start
WinRIS
Connect a suitable 9-conductor straight RS-232
cable, between the unit’s front-mounted
PC/Setup port and the RS-232 port of the PC or
portable computer that will be running Gem-
ini.exe program.
