USB Cable Communications
You must be using USB compatible CAT software and have installed the Diamante USB driver on your
computer. See Install the Diamante USB Drivers on page 18 for instructions on loading the driver.
1. Ensure your Diamante and computer are turned On and are fully booted.
2. Each end of the USB cable has a different connection plug. Insert the appropriate end of the USB
cable into the USB B (client) port on the back of the Diamante and the other end into a USB port on
the computer.
Windows
®
XP
Insert the USB cable into the computer USB port on which you loaded the Diamante USB driver.
3. Start your CAT software.
4. Set your realtime options. In Case CATalyst V10 and higher, select Diamante - USB on the
Translate Realtime tab. In Case CATalyst V4.096 - V9, select élan - USB.
This is a USB connection. COM port settings do
not apply.
5. Write a few strokes on the Diamante before starting realtime. If you loaded a dictionary onto your
Diamante, the translated steno displays on the Tilting screen.
If the USB realtime connection is active when you take a break, the realtime screen may not display
new steno strokes when you resume writing. This may happen when the USB port becomes inactive
after remaining idle for a period of time. If this occurs, disconnect the USB cable from the back of the
Diamante and reconnect it. The realtime file is not affected. Reconnect the cable to display the new
steno strokes on the realtime screen. See Troubleshooting on page 97 for details on disabling USB
port power saving features to avoid an inactive connection.
6. When you are finished writing realtime using a USB cable, it is important that you complete the
following steps in order. This ensures your computer shuts down properly.
a. Press End on the Diamante to close the file.
b. Close and save the realtime file.
c. Unplug the Diamante USB cable from your computer and the Diamante.
