Now that the new setup file has been created and saved on the PC, the next step is
connecting to a PC to transfer the setup file into the UMX-2. There are 2 cables
included with the UMX-2 kit; LEMO to 9 pin serial and 9 PIN serial to USB.
Serial:
The LEMO to 9 pin RS232 cable can be connect directly to any serial port. However,
the serial port number must be known. The actual port reference can be obtained in
the device manager of a Windows® based operating system.

installed for the USB cable. The driver will automatically be loaded when DakView3

‘examples’ folder on your desktop. This folder is created by DakView3 when
installed.
