- Read the programming data from radio (Section
3.7).
- Write programming data to a radio (Section 3.7).
- Read error code information stored in radio
(Section 2.14)
- Read version information from the transceiver
(Section 3.7).
3.3.4 MAIN WINDOW PANES
The left pane (Personality View) shown in Figure
3-2 displays the current programming information in a
Locality, Bank, or System hierarchy that is selectable
by clicking the applicable "View Type" button at the
top of the pane. To turn this pane on and off, select
View > Personality. Clicking a "+/– box or double
clicking a bold item expands/contracts that branch.
This pane always defaults to the on mode when the
program is started.
The right pane displays the information contained
in the current radio file. This information can be printed
by selecting File > Print or saved to a text file by
copying (Ctrl C) and pasting (Ctrl V) it into a word
processor program. To quickly display the data for a
locality, bank, or system, simply click it in the left pane.
3.3.5 STATUS BAR
The status bar is located at the bottom of the
screen (see Figure 3-2), and it indicates the following
information. The status bar can be turned on and off by
selecting View > Status Bar in the menu bar.
Status/Function - When pointing to a function or tool,
this area provides a brief description of it. At other
times, it indicates the current program status.
Radio Model - Indicates the specific radio model that
has been selected by the Edit > Radio Type menu (see
Section 3.6.2). Only the parameters applicable to the
selected radio are displayed on the various screens.
Personality - Displays a running total of the amount of
space remaining in EEPROM memory of micropro-
cessor U208 if the transceiver was programmed with
the current information. If this number reaches zero
before all data is entered, fewer localities/systems/
groups/banks must be programmed (see Section
2.3.12).
Saved Info/LTR-Net Locality - Functions like the
Flash memory display just described to indicate the
amount of space remaining in EEPROM U150 for
saved information and LTR-Net localities.
3.4 PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
3.4.1 INTRODUCTION
The following is a general procedure that can be
used to program a 72xx-series portable transceiver.
Detailed information on the screens mentioned in the
procedure is located in Sections 3.5 - 3.10.
3.4.2 GETTING STARTED
1. Start the program as described in Section 3.2.3. The
main window shown in Figure 3-2 is displayed
when the program is started.
2. Choose the data file to be edited using one of the
following methods:
New File - When the program is started, a new file
is automatically created that contains program
defaults. This file is named "Untitled" until it is
saved. A new file can also be created at any time by
File > New or clicking
From Disk File - If a file stored on disk is to be
edited or used as a basis for programming another
file, open it by selecting File > Open or clicking
in the toolbar.
Read From Radio - If the data currently contained
in a radio is to be used as a basis for programming
another radio or is to be modified, it can be read
into the program. To do this, select Transfer > Read
Setup Params or click
Section 3.7).
3.4.3 PROGRAMMING MAIN RADIO
PARAMETERS
The Main Radio Parameters are parameters that
are the same regardless of the selected bank/system/
group. They are programmed as follows:
