Control Software for Windows
The Signal Enhancement Products Control Program, used
by the CD 800, is compatible with Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95/98,
and NT. It provides remote control of decoder settings.
Installing the software
The program is contained on a single 3.5” diskette; it can
run from the floppy drive. It is usually more convenient to
load and run the program from the hard drive.
To install the software onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE
from the floppy disk, and follow the instructions that
appear on the screen. The program occupies approximately
1 MB (megabyte) of hard-drive space.
By default, the installation creates a C:\S_ENHANC
directory, and it places two icons (Signal Enhancement
Products Control Pgm and Signal Enhancement Products
Help) in a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.
Using the software
1. To run the Signal Enhancement Products Control
Program, double-click on the Signal
Enhancement Products Control Pgm icon
in the Extron Electronics group or folder.
The Comm menu appears on the screen.
2. Click on the comm port that is attached to the CD 800
RS-232 port.
The Extron Signal Enhancement Products Control
Program window appears. It displays the current
settings (see the figure below).
3. Using normal Windows controls, you can perform the
same adjustments as from the front panel.
For information about program features, you can access the
Help program in any of the following ways:
• From within the Signal Enhancement Products Control
Program, click on the Help menu on the main screen.
