Matrix Orbital GLK24064-25 Legacy - Manual (Page 6)

1. Insert the Matrix Orbital Cd-ROM into the Cd drive.
2. Locate the file "mogd.zip". It should be in the “Download” directory.
3. Unzip mogd.zip to a temporary directory, using a program such as Winzip, Pkzip, etc.
4. Double click on "setup.exe".
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
After installation is complete there will be a Matrix Orbital entry under “Programs” in the “Start Menu”.
Click on this entry to run mogd.exe.
The first time mogd.exe is run, some information will be required;
• The port number to be used. (Usually COM1 or COM2)
• The baud rate for the connection. (Use 19,200 for initial startup of the display)
• The type of display unit. (Set to 240 x 64 for the display)
Once this information is entered the program can be used to control all functions of the display.
1.5 Trying Out the GLK24064-25
Matrix Orbital suggests testing the display out before setting it up for any application. This is easily
done with a PC. The following will be required;
• A 5V power supply. (8 to 30 VDC for Efficient Switching Supply (VPT) models)
• A power connector. The type used for 3.5” 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 using a 25 conductor cable, a 25 to 9 pin adapter will also
be required
