XL7 User Manual

15.3 Establishing Communications

The preferred method of communicating between Cscape and an XL7 OCS is via USB port. The XL7 OCS

can communicate with Cscape using USB to USB, USB to serial adapters, serial port communications via

MJ1 Port, Ethernet, CAN (CsCAN) or modems. For communications other than USB or the MJ1 port

please refer to the manual which ships with the communications adapter hardware being used for

programming.

To communicate with the XL7 via USB you will need the automated driver installer located on the

Horner APG web site.

For XL7 use Cscape Ver 9.30 SP6 or newer.

Next, connect a PC’s (Personal Computer running a Windows Microsoft operating system) USB port via

USB cable to the USB mini B port on the XL7 OCS.
