CE-22 Program Software

The Vertex CE-22 program is a software package which controls the VXR-1000's "Clone Edit" feature.
This manual outlines the installation and use of the CE-22 software when used with the VXR-1000.
1. CE-22 Installation
The Vertex CE-22 program is an integrated
software package designed to work with
IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computers.
In order for CE-22 to run properly, your
computer must run DOS v3.0 (or a later ver-
sion).
1-1: CE-22 Installation
There is no installation software included
with your distribution diskette.
Use standard DOS procedures to install the
software on your hard drive.
For example, let us create a directory named
"Vertex" into which we shall install the CE-
22 software. First, make a copy of the distri-
bution diskette, then use the archive copy
for the installation from (floppy) Drive A:
c:\ mkdir vertex [ENTER]
c:\ cd\vertex [ENTER]
c:\vertex copy a:*.* [ENTER]
The files on the archive floppy disk will now
be copied to your hard drive into the new
"vertex" directory.
1-2: Starting CE-22
Before starting the CE-22 program, connect
the VPL-1 Cloning Cable between your
computer's COM port and the VXR-1000's
MIC jack.
Connecting the VPL-1 cable automatically
initiates the "CLONE" (programming)
mode, and the PWR LED will blink while
the CLONE mode is active.
If your computer has more than one COM
port, you may select the COM port to be
used via the "Common Data" window (ac-
cessed by pressing F2 after CE-22 is start-
ed). Either COM1 or COM2 may be utilized.
To start CE-22, be sure your computer
screen is displaying the DOS prompt. The
procedure thereafter is: c:\ ce22 [ENTER]
14
and Operating Modes
The CE-22 program will now start. After five
seconds in an initial Program Identification
screen, the software will automatically
switch to the main Channel Editing Screen.
1-3: Startup Options
Two mode options for CE-22 are available.
The standard ce22 command allows all nor-
mally-required channel data entry parame-
ters to be entered and/or edited. Addi-
tionally, the COM port line in the "Common
Data" window may also be changed. How-
ever, other "Common Data" parameters can-
not be changed, although they are visible in
the window.
The alternative ce22 /p option allows edit-
ing of the other parameters in the "Common
Data" window. While changes to these pa-
rameters are not normally required, major
system changes may necessitate modifica-
tion of one or more "Common Data" items.
If this is the case, type ce22 /p [ENTER] in-
stead of (only) ce22 [ENTER] when starting
the program.
2. Sending/Downloading Data
2-1: Reading Data from VXR-1000
When you start up CE-22, it is often useful to
download the current channel information
from the VXR-1000 for archive purposes.
To do this, press F5. The current data will
be read by the computer, and the data will
appear on the screen. If you wish to save
this data to disk, press F4 and assign a file
name into which the archive data will be
saved.
2-2: Loading Data to VXR-1000
When all channel data has been successful-
ly set up, press F6 to send the channel data
to the VXR-1000.
2-3: Saving Data to Disk
Channel programming data may be saved
to your computer's hard drive, or to a flop-
from the VXR-1000
