SUPPORT

Customer support is currently not available for this software (or any previous Opcode software or hardware).

It has been tested on Windows 2000, XP, and NT primarily with a Studio64X.

CONFIGURATION

Upon installation, a configuration dialog is shown. Use it to specify the COM port and the model of Studio X device you are using.. You can have multiple StudioX devices on multiple serial ports.

The same configuration dialog can be accessed at any time from the control panel. The control panel version adds a “TEST” button. Clicking it causes the Configuration dialog to detect a device automatically. (It is not always possible for this test to be accurate).
