additional charactersets in your Discovery, so you have complete freedom of
style and type of characters.
What is de difference between I-Start and U-Start?
I-Start is a demonstration tool and info source for the Discovery basic model (RS-
232/422/485).
It provides a general overview of its capabilities and examples of use. Helpful are
the large Help-file system and some tools to change and load Icons, Screen-
bitmaps and character sets.
U-Start has similar capabilities, but is exclusively for ethernet versions (TCP/IP) of
the Discovery. Therefore it has some extra network functions.
Very informative is the live-illustration of the Discovery screen on your PC,
showing you how the issued commands are translated into communication
messages!
Can I use I-Start or U-Start as standard application for the Discovery?
No, it’s just a starttool, to familiarise. To get a Discovery running with an existing
application you need some special software on your ‘host’ or ‘server’ system,
which will be supplied by the system integrator. Scantech does not deliver that
application. However there are several tools, sources and sample programs on
the CD for those programmers who like to learn from existing knowledge.
Can I install both I-Start and U-Start?
Yes you can, but be aware that each requires a different type of Discovery
(interfaces).
Do I need special software for the Discovery?
The Discovery itself is standard equipped with all the required embedded
firmware. However on the server-side (your back-office system) you need a
program or routine to take care of communication and a program providing the
information that the Discovery shall display. It is the responsibility of the system
integrator to use his added value here. See the relevant paragraphs in the manual
and on the CD!
