PROGRAMMING
System PC Controller Application Software
Advanced control of the system is available by using the PC control
application software. Typically users may want to customize the default
configurations to control settings such as frequency, scrambling keys,
modulation parameters, and video resolution.
The transmitter is controlled by the application DTC_tx_ctrl.exe
available on the CD delivered with the product.
A PC is required with an available RS232 Serial COM port to control the
transmitter.
Installation of the control program is as simple as copying the file from the
CD to a suitable location on the PC. No install shield routine is launched.
Note that the application generates its own log and initialization files, so it
is best to create a dedicated directory for these applications, perhaps with
links to the applications from the desktop of the PC.
