Using the Configuration Program

Getting Started

To begin the OMEGA configuration process:

1.In your computer’s floppy drive, insert the floppy diskette containing the OMEGA configuration program. Then create a new folder on your computer’s hard drive and copy all of the files from the OMEGA configuration diskette to that folder.

NOTE: Remember the name of the folder that contains the OMEGA configuration program. You will need to access this folder later in this procedure.

2.Connect a data cable with a male DB9 connector to OMEGA’s serial port (see Figure 1-1 on page 13).

3.Connect the other end of the cable to your notebook computer’s serial port.

4.Apply 115 VAC power to OMEGA (see “Powering-up OMEGA” on page 21). The green Power LED goes ON.

5.Exit to an MS-DOS window:

cIf your computer is running Windows 95 or 98, click the Start button on the taskbar and click Programs and MS- DOS prompt.

cIf your computer is running a different operating system, refer to the manual that came with the computer for instructions on getting to a DOS prompt.

6.Change to the directory (folder) where you copied the OMEGA configuration program file. For example, if you copied the files to a directory called OMEGA type the bold command in the following line at the MS-DOS prompt and press the Enter key:

C:\WINDOWS>CD\OMEGA

7.Type cvdm and press Enter. The OMEGA configuration program prompts you for a COM port (see Figure 4-1).
