Introduction
The ADMS-8 programming software uses a Personal Computer to quickly enter and save the
FT2DR/DE memory channel frequencies and data. Also the many menu settings may be adapted
for individual operating preferences. All of the information is saved. The setting data can be imported
from the FT2DR/DE and edited setting data can be transferred to the FT2DR/DE. Furthermore, by
using the ADMS-8 software, memory channel information* can be exchanged between the FT1DR/
DE and FT2DR/DE.
* Some information such as memory tags are excluded.
System Requirements
In order to use this program, a personal computer (PC) with one of the following Windows operating
systems, and a serial data connection cable are required.
Operating system (OS)
Any one of the following operating system environments
Microsoft Windows®10 (32 bit/64 bit)

Microsoft Windows Vista®(32 bit/64 bit, Service Pack 2 or later)
CPU
The performance of the CPU must be able to satisfy the operating system requirements.
RAM (system memory)
The capacity of the RAM (system memory) must be more than sufficient to satisfy the operating
system requirements.
HDD (Hard Disk)
The capacity of the HDD must be more than sufcient to satisfy the operating system requirements.
In addition to the memory space required to run the operating system, about 50 MB or more of
additional memory space is required to run the program.
Necessary PC peripheral interfaces
USB port (USB 1.1 / USB 2.0) or RS-232C interface (COM port)
microSD

Before using the ADMS-8 FT2DR/DE Programmer
When using the optional SCU-19 PC USB connection cable, or the SCU-16 USB serial adaptation
cable, be sure to install the designated driver before connecting either cable to the computer.
Select the communication port that is connected to the FT2DR/DE.
Click the left mouse button on the "COM port Settings" item in the "Communications" menu to open
the "COM Port Settings" window.
Click the left mouse button on the "▼" button to display the COM Port List, and then click the left
mouse button on the communication port that is connected to the FT2DR/DE.
When using the SCU-19 or SCU-16, open the Device Manager on the computer and then click the
port (COM or LPT) to select the port number (COM**) displayed as Prolic USB-to-Serial Comm Port
(COM**).
If Prolic USB-to-Serial Comm Port is not displayed in the COM port list, the driver for SCU-19 or
SCU-16 is not installed correctly. Install the device driver correctly to the computer.
After correctly installing the SCU-19 or SCU-16 drivers, if the COM Port number is not correct and the
popup message “The port COMxx does not exist” is displayed click OK. Open [Device Manager] and
nd the correct COM Port number. Then choose the correct COM Port number from the list, or type
the correct COM Port number. Then click the [Determine] button to save the setting.
Using the ADMS-8 software
To enable the FT2DR/DE clone mode for use with the ADMS-8 software, use the following procedure:
1. Turn FT2DR/DE power OFF.
2. While pressing the key turn the power ON.
3. To acquire data from the FT2DR/DE, touch “RECEIVE”. To transfer data to the FT2DR/DE, touch
