TB9100 Calibration Software User’s Manual Basic Tasks 7
Connecting the Calibration Software
Before you can begin calibrating, you must establish a connection between the
calibration software and the reciter.
To connect to the reciter
1. Make sure that the equipment is set up but that the reciter is not powered
up.
2. Start the Calibration Software program, and check that the correct COM
port is selected.
3. Click Connect to start the connection process.
4. When you see the “Waiting for logon prompt from Reciter” screen, power
up the reciter. If it is already on, turn it off, and then on.
5. When the Calibration Software program has successfully connected to the
reciter (this can take up to 30 seconds), the Calibration Wizards are
displayed in the main window.
You are now ready to tune and calibrate the reciter.
Disconnecting from the Base Station/Reciter
Once calibration is completed, end the process as follows.
1. Click Disconnect.
Important: Disconnecting when a calibration process is not
completed may leave the base station in an uncalibrated state.
2. Exit the Calibration Software.
3. Turn the base station off and then on again to take it out of calibration
mode. The base station is now in Standby mode, ready for configuration.
