The MC 1500 controller can receive control commands from a PC. Computers
with operating systems from on MS Windows SE/ME/NT4 SP5+/2000/XP can
be used.
The computer is connected to the connection (13) of the controller using a
RS232 cable. The MC 1500 can also be connected to a PC's USB interface us-
ing a USB 1.1-to-RS232 converter (accessory) – with full USB functionality.
The CD-ROM supplied contains demonstration software for controlling the
MC 1500, a DDL file for integrating the controller steering into user-own soft-
ware and information on controlling the MC 1500 via a hyper terminal. The
demo software allows to comfortably control all functions of the MC 1500.
The MC 1500 can in principle also be controlled via a palm top unit if the palm
is equipped with a terminal software.
A detailed manual on the current version of the software in pdf format can
be found on your CD.
The user program supplied has the status of demonstration software be-
cause no software support going beyond the accompanying documentation
can be given!
In general, customer-specific changes to the operating software cannot be
undertaken. However, the user is provided with all information required to
integrate the MC 1500 into his own operating program with full functiona-
lity.
