NXR-71043-3. KPG-46/KPG-46A Description(PC programming interface cable: Option)The KPG-46/46A is required to interface the NXR-710 tothe computer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (KPG-46: 25-pin, KPG-46A: 9-pin) case that converts the RS-232Clogic level to the TTL level.The KPG-46/46A connects the 8-pin microphone connec-tor of the NXR-710 to the RS-232C serial port of the com-puter.3-4. KCT-53U Description (USB adapter: Option)The KCT-53U is a cable which connects the KPG-46A toa USB port on a computer.When using the KCT-53U, install the supplied CD-ROM(with driver software) in the computer. The KCT-53U driverruns under Windows 2000, XP or Vista (32-bit).3-5. Programming Software KPG-129D DescriptionThe KPG-129D is the programming software for thetransceiver supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs un-der Windows XP, Vista or 7 on a PC.The data can be input to or read from the NXR-710 andedited on the screen. The programmed or edited data canbe printed out. It is also possible to tune the NXR-710.KPG-129DPCNXR-710KPG-46 or KPG-46A orKPG-46A + KCT-53U +Tuning cable (E30-3383-05)KPG-46TransceiverPCD-SUB(25-pin)TransceiverPCKPG-46AD-SUB(9-pin)TransceiverPCKPG-46AKCT-53UUSBFig. 14. Firmware Programming Mode4-1. PrefaceThe NXR-710 uses flash memory to allow it to be easilyupgraded when new features are released in the future.4-2. Connection ProcedureConnect the NXR-710 to the personal computer usingthe interface cable (KPG-46/46A) and USB adapter (KCT-53U:when the interface cable is KPG-46A, the KCT-53U can beused.). (Connection is the same as in the PC Mode.)Note:You can only program firmware from the 8-pin micro-phone connector on the front panel. Using the 25-pin logicinterface on the rear panel will not work.4-3. Programming1. Start up the firmware programming software (Fpro.exe(ver. 4.1 or later)). The Fpro.exe exists in the KPG-129Dinstalled folder.2. Set the communications speed (normally, 115200 bps)and communications port in the configuration item.3. Set the firmware to be updated by File name item.4. Turn the NXR-710 power ON with the [PF1] key helddown. Then, “P.G.” is displayed.5. Check the connection between the NXR-710 and thepersonal computer, and make sure that the NXR-710 is inthe Program mode.6. Press write button in the window. When the NXR-710starts to receive data.7. If writing ends successfully, the TX LED on the NXR-710lights.8. If you want to continue programming other NXR-710s,repeat steps 4 to 7.Note:This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program-ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft-ware.4-4. FunctionIf you press the [PF6] key while “P.G.” is displayed, thedisplay changes to “P G” to indicate that the write speedis low speed (38400 bps). If you press the [PF6] key againwhile “P G” is displayed, the display changes to “P G.” toindicate that the write speed is mid speed (57600 bps). Ifyou press the [PF6] key again while “P G.” is displayed, thedisplay changes to “P.G.” to indicate that the write speed ishigh speed (115200 bps).Note:Normally, write in the high-speed mode.REALIGNMENT
