NOTES ON PROGRAMMING

MUSEUM TECHNOLOGY CONTROL

UNITS WITH A WINDOWS BASED PC

All versions of Windows contain a terminal program, HYPERTERMINAL, which works quite well for programming Museum Technology control units, such as HD and DVD (and also VDC controllers when being used with a long-play video disc or a Sony player).

If you are using Windows 98 or XP, from the START menu (lower left of screen usually), go to the PROGRAMS menu, then to the ACCESSORIES menu, then to COMMUNICATIONS, then to HYPERTERMINAL.

If you are using Windows 95, the steps are the same, except there is no COMMU- NICATIONS menu. Go directly to HYPERTERMINAL from ACCESSORIES.

Double click on the HYPERTERM.EXE icon (may just say HYPERTRM). The pro- gram will open with a NEW CONNECTION dialogue box which asks you to enter a name and select and icon. Enter the name of the product you are about to pro- gram, such as DVD-204. The choice of icon is immaterial. Click OK.

The next dialog box will ask for a phone number. Go to the fourth box down, CONNECT USING, and select DIRECT TO COM1 (This assures that COM1 Port is free on your machine. Sometimes the internal modem occupies this position. If this is the case, select COM2). Click OK.

The next dialog box is entitled PORT SETTINGS. Use the following settings for all DVD Controllers:

Baud	9600
Data Bits	8
Parity	None
Stop Bits	1
Flow Control	None

Note: For the LT-12, use a Baud setting

For HD-204 and HD-212 Adtec Hard Disc Controllers the Baud Rate is 38,400
