8 EXPANSIVE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

This chapter describes the Windows related software to be used to control the TS-590S from a PC.

Following are the Windows related software products that can be used with the TS-590S.

Table 8-1 Windows Related Software for TS-590S

We will provide some typical system configurations using the TS-590S and Windows software.

The microphone connected to the TS-590S and the transceiver’s built-in speaker are used.

8.1 Windows Related Software

Name Description

ARCP-590 This software enables control of the TS-590S from a PC.

ARHP-590 This host program is used on the host station PC when the TS-590S is remotely controlled over

a network. The software is used in combination with ARCP-590.

ARVP-10

This VoIP software is to transfer the TX and RX audio signals when remotely controlling the

TS-590S over a network.

Note: The software is composed of ARVP-10H and ARVP-10R.

ARUA-10

This software enables use of the microphone and speaker of a PC in place of those on the

TS-590S. It enables the audio signal from the PC’s microphone to be transfered via USB audio

and transmitted from the TS-590S. Also, the audio output of the TS-590S can be emitted from

the PC’s speaker via USB audio.

Note:

If you are using a home-made audio cable connected to the ACC2 connector, this software is not

required.

This software is not required if this is used over a network.

Virtual COM Port

Driver

Being installed on the PC, this supports use of ARCP-590 and ARHP-590 after the TS-590S is

connected to a PC with a USB cable.

Note: If the TS-590S is connected to the PC with a serial cable, this software is not required.
