2.3 Product Control & Status Monitoring Approach
GMS Transmitters and Receivers provide programmable presets or configurations that can be set
up through special programming software by Administrators. Configurations are selected by the
user though M.S. Windows Application programs. The VETA products allow 16 configurations.
Administrators define the configurations for specific applications. Each configuration completely
defines all of the Unit parameters including center frequency, modulation parameters, Video,
Audio, User data and encryption. Field personnel will select specific configuration via pre-
determined guidance from the Administrators. Matching the Transmitter operation to the Receiver
operation is as simple as selecting the same configuration for both. For example: If the Transmitter
is set to configuration #3, then the Receiver needs to be set to configuration #3 for them to
operate together.
2.4 VETA RX Configurator Functions
The VETA RX Configurator program provides the user access to many different configuration,
control and monitoring options. When the VETA RX Configurator program is launched, the screen
shown in Figure 1 is displayed. The user should first select the serial port their computer is
connected to via the Serial Port Selector and Status region. If the selected serial port is valid, the
gray-colored status box will show ‘Ready’. The Device Selector region allows the end user to
choose to interface to a VETA RX (receiver) unit. To configure a VETA RX, select the ‘VR’ box in the
Device Selector region. Once the ‘VR’ box is selected, the screen shown in Figure 2 is displayed.
The VETA RX Configurator program contains function buttons and all the configurable settings
