Programming the PT2000 and TopGun

TopGun and the PT2000 are configured with certain default parameter settings before they are shipped from the factory. These settings will work for many applications. Change the settings by scanning the bar codes provided in this chapter and in Appendix G, Programming Bar Codes, on page 127 or by creating bar codes for specific settings. Or, download new programs to the portable from DOS or Windows.
