Software
The system can be configured via the antenna software. To enter the program, you
have to connect the serial interface of an ordinary PC via an interface converter with
the serial interface of the antenna. For antenna variants with RS422 interface (i.e.
HG 98780ZA/XA) an appropriate interface converter is required. Then start a terminal
program on the PC.
NOTE!
The interface converter is not part of the system´s scope of sup-
ply! However, it is available from several well-known distributors,
as e. g. RS Components (
http://www.rs-components.com/rs/
Please refer to the section „Industrial Interface Converters“ in the
RS Components catalogue.

Terminal program
This section refers to the program
HyperTerminal
®
(
Hypertrm.exe
), which is part of
the scope of supply of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
. We usually use this program because
many of our customers are already familiar with it and, due to the configuration files
supplied by us, it is very easy to use.
Nevertheless, any other terminal program, that is capable of VT52 emulation, may be
used. If you should use a different program, please read its manual and adjust it to the
values described in section 5.1.1 below.

Parameter presettings
Dependent on whether you want to run the monitor program or the software update,
different parameters are necessary. If you are using HyperTerminal, you do not need
to enter these parameters and can move on to section 5.2 on page 29.
