31.2 ENABLING THE SMARTSDR CAT INTERFACE
SmartSDR CAT is a FLEX-6000 client application that translates serial port CAT commands into FLEX-
6000 “FlexLib” commands and is included with SmartSDR for Windows. It must be configured before
setting up your digital mode configuration. Please refer to the SmartSDR CAT Software User’s Guide
for detained instructions for installing SmartSDR CAT.
After SmartSDR CAT is installed, note the virtual serial port number assigned to your FLEX-6000. The
default FlexRadio virtual serial port is COM4 and will be used in this setup procedure.
