A Delphi application.
I have only one rig to test with (IC-756PRO).
Should work on some other
models of ICOM rigs and may be used to test your CI-V interface.
Kenwood and Yaesu use a different command interface.
To use the DX Summit function
you must be actively connected to the Internet.
Start Automatic refreshes at 60 second intervals which you can
change.
Click an entry in the List of stations and your transceiver will be set to the
Frequency
of the selection with the Call Letters displayed below the Exit button.
------------------------- SETUP --------------------------------------
Click on "RS-232 Lines":
Selection of DTR & RTS
depends on the type of CI-V unit you are using.
Example: Early models of the Donner Digital Interface require both DTR &
RTS to be
checked.
Other CI-V units require something different. Maybe yours just needs
the RTS checked.
Click on "Setup and Test" to enter your Rig's address ( XCVR
ID ).
Click on Settings.
Select the desired COM port settings from the Serial Advanced Settings
screen:
Port = a, Parity = None, Databits = 8 Bit,
Baudrate = b, Flow Control = None, Stop = 1
Bit.
a = COM1 or COM2 etc., b = set to same rate as that of your
radio. 9600 recommended.
Check "OpenPort".
After the above, click "OK" and "Save Settings" on the "Setup and Test"
screen.
The box of white space is the debug area for your hardware interface.
The white space displays the datastream that is being sent to and received from
your rig.
Clicking the button to the right of the XCVR ID will send a control
string to your rig that attempts
to set the frequency to 14.072.000 . Changing the dial frequency
and/or pressing a "band" button
on your rig should show the datastream in the white space.
This space may be cleared by clicking on the "Clear" button.
Click "Control Panel" to continue.
