Installation and User Instructions for the GCS USB-DTU

®

This leaflet provides user and installation
instructions for the Universal Serial Bus
(USB) version of the ProxiPen Data
Termination Unit (DTU). The unit is
equipped with both a 9-pin RS232 port and
a USB port, enabling the unit to
communicate with a PC running the WinDau
or Top Guard software through either port.

When using the RS232 port, the unit must
be powered from a separate 9Vdc power
supply. When using the USB port, power is
provided through the USB cable.

1

Installing the DTU

If you are using the USB interface, connect a standard A-to-B USB cable to the unit.
If you are using the RS232 interface, connect a 9-pin modem-type serial cable to the unit. When

using the RS232 interface, an external 9-volt power supply must also be connected to the 2.5mm
Jack socket.

Using the DTU

Communications between the Proxy Pen and DTU is wireless and simply requires the pen to be
placed in the cradle at the top of the DTU.

To download data from the Proxy Pen, please refer to the Top Guard or WinDau software manual.
