2.1.2 MCN Remote Comparator Display PC Software Operation
Two programs make up the MCN RCD software package. They are:
•
MCNCFG.EXE - the configuration program
•
MCNRCD.EXE - the runtime Remote Comparator Display program.
The MCNCFG program is run by an engineer or technician to build the configuration files when the
system is installed or changed. The MCN RCD program is run by a dispatcher or technician to display
the status of the voting system.
The MCN RCD software allows the operator to see which receivers are receiving, voted, disabled,
failed or in an error condition on the PC. It also allows the operator to monitor and disable receivers
with the Force Vote and Disable functions.
