CE41 Programming Software Instructions
With the CE41 programming Software you can quickly and easily program the features and memories of the Vertex
Standard VXA-210 heavy duty air band transceiver from your personal computer. The CE41 Programming Software
allows custom memory files to be stored, saved, merged, and edited for convenience when planning a journey. In the
event of an accidental memory failure, transceiver memory and configuration data may be re-loaded in a matter of min-
utes.
The CE41 Programming Software diskette contains the following files:
¦ CE41.EXE - The executable programming software;
¦ CE41.HLP - The "Help" file used with the main program; and
¦ CE41.CFG - The "Configuration" file for the main program.
Before connecting the VXA-210 for programming, turn off both the computer and the VXA-210. Now connect the
CT-42A PC Programming Cable to the computer's serial port and the VXA-210 as shown in the illustration. Then it will
be safe to restart the computer; turning off the equipment during interconnection avoids damage to the electronics caused
by voltage spikes.
Insert the distribution diskette into your 3½" drive (after booting DOS), and make a copy of the diskette; use the
distribution diskette for archive purposes, and use the disk copy for programming.
Place the CE41 (copy) diskette into your 3½" drive (usually "Drive A"), and log onto this drive by typing A: [ E
this point, you may make a directory for the CE41 software, if you like, according to standard DOS procedures (using the
"MKDIR" command). Load the contents of the CE41 diskette into this directory, using the "COPY" command (e.g. COPY
A: * . * C:\ [directory name]).
Now type CE41 [ E

the main screen, as shown below.
Choose the "Help" contents option from the program's Menu for assistance with program operation.
Do not work directly with the CE41 programming diskette. Make a copy of it and use the copy when programming the
VXA-210. Keep it and the original distribution diskette in a safe place in case you need to make another copy of it later.
