SG-2000 MANUAL 101

17.0 External Software

This section lists information on the RS-232 software, called Softlink,

available for the SG-2000.

17.1 RS-232 Serial Control Software

The RS-232 allows the SG-2000 to be fully controlled by a computer terminal

(PC, IBM compatible, or laptop). Via the RS-232's control lines, the computer (in

essence) becomes the control head for the SG-2000. The SG-2000 can now be

controlled by eight computer terminals, or by eight remote control units, or any

combination of the two. Any function dealing directly with audio (volume,

speaker on/off, squelch, etc.) will not be controlled by the RS-232 since this does

not apply to the operations of the computer. For data communications or

monitoring purposes, the RS-232 connection enables this to be a smooth and user

friendly process.

The SGC RS-232 software system provides for direct computer control of the

popular SG-2000 all band solid state HF transceiver. Because of its advanced

design, the SG-2000 may be configured to support any combination of up to

eight computers and control heads. This means, in a typical installation, that you

may have six control heads and two computers controlling the same SG-2000.

This tremendous versatility makes the SG-2000 with DOS software the radio of

choice in numerous commercial, marine, paramilitary, and amateur applications.

Audio functions of the SG-2000 such as volume, speaker on/off, and squelch, are

not controlled by the RS-232 software: these functions are not supported by cur-

rent IBM compatible computers.

In addition, it is important to note that the software allows operation of the SG-

2000 without a control head. This configuration is desirable in installations

where audio or analog data streams can be best handled through other systems.

For data communications or monitoring purposes, the RS-232 facility ensures

crisp, reliable, user friendly control of the radio. Version 1.0 of the software does

not include ARQ or other data communications, because separate software is

available for this specific purpose.
