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 con-
trol settings such as frequency, scrambling keys, modulation parameters, and video resolution.
The transmitter is controlled by the application DTC_tx_ctrl_v1_3.exe
(or higher) 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 applica-
tions, perhaps with links to the applications from the desktop of the PC.
Getting Started
•Use the supplied programming cable to con-
nect the chosen COM port of your PC to the
transmitter to be configured.
•Launch the application by double clicking or
using the Run...
command.
•Connection with a transmitter should be au-
tomatic, but the user can force selection of
the correct COM port using the drop down,
followed by the Connect button.
•Select the channel to be configured from
the unit’s front panel
Channel Switch.
•Click Refresh in the application to display the
current configuration.
•Update the current settings in the applica-
tion, then click Apply to save to memory.
