Pc Power Tool Programming - Russound CAV66 1 Instruction Manual

PC Power Tool Programming

The PC Power Tool is a custom software pro-
gram that provides an easy way to program the
CAV6.6 using a PC to upload the program set-
tings to the controller via a serial cable.
System requirements for PC Power Tool:
1. PC computer running Windows 98,
ME, 2000, XP
2. Minimum 6MB free hard disk space
3. 32MB RAM
4. CD-ROM drive
5. Available RS-232 serial port
After PC Power Tool is installed on the computer,
a new project is created in the program by fol-
lowing the screen prompts and selecting the
appropriate source and zone settings. A "Project"
refers to a complete controller setup, and is
saved as a file on the PC.
Once a project is ready, it must be uploaded to
the CAV6.6 from the PC.

PC POWER TOOL OVERVIEW
To upload the file, connect a DB9 serial cable
between the PC COM port and either the front or
rear DB9 connection on the CAV6.6. The
front/rear OS Program selector switch on the
CAV6.6 must be set as well (front or rear).
With the PC Power Tool program selected to the
desired project file, go to the "Tools" menu and
select "Write to Device." A status bar will move
as the project file is uploaded from the PC to the
controller.
When the file is finished uploading, the status
window will close. Disconnect the DB9 cable
from the controller and cycle power to the con-
troller.
PC Power Tool project files can also be down-
loaded from the controller to be edited or to be
uploaded to other controllers.
