The following additional materials are also required for the programming stage:
• A Windows® laptop PC to run the CAV-M1000ES Setup Software and the RM-TP100 Editor software.

a "null-modem" cable.
• USB-to-RS-232C adaptor (optional). To save space, some laptop PCs do not have an RS-232C interface. In this case, you will need
a commercially available USB-to-RS-232C adaptor.
