QS Series Master Development System Software
When the software is first started, the screen in Figure 11 prompts the user
to choose which area of the development board will be used with the QS
module: the RS-232 or the PIC section.
The Control Panel then appears, setup for whichever section was selected.
The area can be changed by going to the Window pull-down menu and
clicking the appropriate selection.
Full documentation for the software and samples of the source code
can be found in the help file, obtained by clicking on Help \ Help File and
selecting either the .pdf file to be displayed in Adobe Acrobat or the .html
file to be displayed in the default web browser.
If any problems are encountered, first unplug the module and plug it back
in, then check the help file. If the problem is not corrected or addressed,
then Linx contact information is under the Help \ Contact Us menu.
