Getting Started
To begin the OMEGA configuration process:
1. In your computer’s floppy drive, insert the floppy diskette
containing the OMEGA configuration program. Then create a
new folder on your computer’s hard drive and copy all of the
files from the OMEGA configuration diskette to that folder.
NOTE: Remember the name of the folder that contains the OMEGA
configuration program. You will need to access this folder later in
this procedure.
2. Connect a data cable with a male DB9 connector to OMEGA’s
serial port (see Figure 1-1 on page 13).
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your notebook
computer’s serial port.
4. Apply 115 VAC power to OMEGA (see “Powering-up
OMEGA” on page 21). The green Power LED goes ON.
5. Exit to an MS-DOS window:
c
If your computer is running Windows 95 or 98, click the
Start button on the taskbar and click Programs and MS-
DOS prompt.
c
If your computer is running a different operating system,
refer to the manual that came with the computer for
instructions on getting to a DOS prompt.
6. Change to the directory (folder) where you copied the
OMEGA configuration program file. For example, if you
copied the files to a directory called OMEGA type the bold
command in the following line at the MS-DOS prompt and
press the Enter key:
C:\WINDOWS>CD\OMEGA
7. Type cvdm and press Enter. The OMEGA configuration
program prompts you for a COM port (see Figure 4-1).
