The first time you run mogd.exe you'll need to enter some information:
! The port number to be used (usually COM1 or COM2)
! The baud rate for the connection (use 19,200 for initial startup of the GLK24064-25)
! The type of display unit (set to 240 x 64 for the GLK24064-25)
Once this information is entered the program can be used to control all functions of the GLK24064-25.
1.5 Trying Out your GLK24064-25
Before setting up your application you may want to try out the GLK24064-25. This is easily done with a
PC. You'll need:
! a 5 V power supply (8 to 30 VDC for Efficient Switching Supply (VPT) models).
! a power connector. The type used for 3.5 inch floppy drives works fine.
! a PC with a spare RS-232 port (COM1 or COM2)
! The mogd.exe program, installed as in the previous section.
! a 9 or 25 conductor RS-232 serial cable. If you use a 25 conductor cable you'll also need a 25 to 9
pin adapter.
