Chapter 3: Writing on the Diamante

USB Communication
The Diamante uses the same realtime USB protocol as the élan Mira
®
; however, some CAT systems
look specifically for the writer model instead of the USB protocol. The USB Communication option allows
you to switch the USB protocol from Standard to élan Mira, enabling you to connect your CAT system to
the Diamante via USB cable for realtime communication.
The USB Communication option only affects realtime communication via USB. Virtual USB serial port
communication is not available. It does not affect exporting an RTF/CRE dictionary to the Diamante via
USB cable.
To change the USB Communications option:
1. From the Opening Menu, press Setup, More, Options.
2. Use the Up/Down buttons to highlight the USB Communication (Writer will Reset if Changed): field.
3. Press Change to switch to Mira Emulation or Standard. Standard is the default selection. A USB
Communication message displays indicating that changing the setting requires the writer to restart.
4. Do one of following:
•Press Accept to change the setting. The Diamante automatically resets and displays the
Opening menu.
•Press Cancel to retain the current setting and return to the Options screen.
