CHANNEL CONTROL
Method A: Operation by Control Software via RS-232 serial port
Scan
This button will trigger the automatic search over all the available COM ports (1-255). If the matrix
is detected, a successful message window will show up. Otherwise, an error message will show
up (see below). Please keep in mind that a successful connection can be established only if there
is at least one COM port available.
Open
Open the COM port after scan to establish the connection between PC and the matrix.
Close
Release the COM port after scan.
