ChadEdit User Guide

Loading and Saving

You need to choose the type of USR-5 first.

Before beginning to program, you should tell ChadEdit whether you are programming a USR-5

or a USR-5RF. After you have set this property once and cleared the “Show this dialog at startup”

check box, you can forget about it, ChadEdit will remember your choice in any future programming

session. The Title Bar shows your current settings. If you want to change your settings, click RF

User Interface from the Settings menu.

How do I upload a configuration from my USR-5?

1. Start ChadEdit.

2. Connect one end of the USR-5 serial cable to your USR-5 and connect

the other end to a serial port of your PC.

3. Click on

in the toolbar, or select Upload from RC Device from the

File menu.

4. ChadEdit now tries to connect to your USR-5. If ChadEdit cannot connect

to your USR-5, it will display a message saying USR-5 not connected or

not responding. You can click on the Details >> button to open a window

listing all the serial ports on your PC.

• If another application is using the serial port to which your USR-5 is

connected you can either try another serial port or have the other

application release the serial port.

• If ChadEdit could open the serial port to which your USR-5 is connected

but still could not connect, check to see if both ends of the cable are

properly inserted and if USR-5’s batteries have not run out. Then wait a

few seconds and try again. If after a number of tries ChadEdit still cannot

connect, try resetting your USR-5, wait until it beeps twice and try again.

5. After connecting to your USR-5, ChadEdit will upload the configuration

from your USR-5 and load it into ChadEdit. If ChadEdit’s current

configuration is not empty, ChadEdit will ask you if you want to Merge

with current configuration or replace it?. If you decide to merge,

ChadEdit will add all home panels, devices and macro groups uploaded

from your USR-5 to the current configuration. If you decide to replace,

ChadEdit will remove the current configuration (if it has been modified,

you will first be allowed to save it) and replace it with the configuration

uploaded from your USR-5.

You can cancel the upload at any time by clicking on the Cancel button.

It is best to not touch your USR-5’s screen or use any of your USR-5’s direct

access buttons, while uploading is in progress.
