The Excalibur 168 Map Filter Utility software
(“ad16to32.exe”) enables users of AD5400 or AD5500
to convert their data files from 16 bit to 32 bit format
for use with the AD168 matrix switcher/controller
system.

If using a single PC, the user must copy a set of files
from the original Excalibur AD5400 or AD5500
directories to a temporary directory on the PC. If the
files are to be transferred to another PC, they must be
copied to a diskette or diskettes (depending on file size,
more than a single diskette may be necessary).
Following is a table listing the files to be copied, and
the directories in which they are found. Note: all of the
files listed may not be loaded in the system. If not, copy
the files that are loaded, and continue with the
procedure.

1. Using the diskette provided on a PC running
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0,
install Excalibur 168. Note: When installing the
software on Windows NT 4.0, it is also necessary
for the user to install “hinstall.exe” (the HASP
driver software). Prior to installing hinstall.exe, an
error message may appear during the installation of
Excalibur 168. The user can click OK and ignore
the message. If error messages continue to appear
after the installation of the HASP driver, the user
should contact AD Technical Support.

System Setup.

4. In the Excalibur System Setup Menus, select Set
Directory.
