RS-232 to RS-422 converter (one came with your Omega Deck)
9-pin male-to-male serial cable (your computer's available connector may vary)
PC running Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 98SE, or NT 4.0
800x600 screen resolution, 256 colors
750 MHz processor
128 MB RAM
How to hook up the deck to the computer
1.
Power on the Omega Deck.
2.
Plug the RS-232 side of the converter into your PC's serial port.
3.
Plug one end of the serial cable into the RS-422 side of the converter; plug the other end into
your Omega Deck.
The software automatically searches through your serial ports for an Omega Deck; you don't need to worry about
what port you put it on. The software also sets up the communications parameters for the port. Just attach the
deck to your PC and you're set. If the software doesn't find your Omega Deck, even though you have it hooked
up and powered on, please check the following two items: make sure you have the side of the converter labeled
"RS-232" plugged into your computer, and make sure that your serial cable is a "straight-through" cable – not a
"null-modem" cable. When you are finished with your current session it is recommended that you close the
Omega Deck Controller software before disconnecting or turning off the Omega Deck.
Installing the controller software
Insert the CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. The installation program may start automatically. If it
doesn't, click on "Start", "Run", and type "X:\setup.exe" (without the quotes), where X is the drive letter of your
CD-ROM drive.
When the setup program has finished, click on "Start" / "Programs" / "Omega controller" / "Omega controller" to
run the software.
