uProject

uProject was designed by Matrix Orbital to provide a simple and easy to use interface that will allow you

to test all of the features of our alpha numeric displays.

To install uProject from the Matrix Orbital CD, follow the following steps:

1. Insert the Matrix Orbital CD-ROM into the CD drive

2. Locate the file, uProject.exe, which should be in the “CD-drive:\Download” directory.

3. Copy uProject.exe to a directory that you wish to run it from.

4. Double click on "uProject.exe"

Be sure to check the information selected in the COM Setup the first time uProject is run. Once this infor-
mation is entered correctly the program can be used to control all functions of the graphic display.
