DESCRIPTION

The MGP 300 Programmer is used to program the personality EEPROM inside the Monogram Series MGP 300 Portable radio. The programmer is operated from a keyboard and the program is displayed on an alphanumeric display. See Figure 1.

The Programmer is powered from a 9-volt DC power supply provided with the programmer. The programmer is also equipped with a printer port. The power switch, the jack for the power supply and the printer port are all located on the rear of the programmer. See Figure 2.

PROGRAMMING CONNECTOR

The MGP 300 programming connector is adjacent to the keyboard on the top of the unit. See Figure 3 for an illustration of the Textool connector and the Locked/Unlocked positions.

To program, you must remove the EEPROM from the radio and place it in the Textool on the top panel of the programmer. To remove the EEPROM from the radio and place it into the Textool; follow these steps:

1. Remove the EEPROM very carefully from the radio (take notice of notch location). See the radio Operator Manual (LBI-38995) or Maintenance Manual (LBI-38998) for location and detailed instruction on how to remove the EEPROM from the radio.

2. After making sure that the textool is in the "unlocked" position, place the EEPROM into the lower half of the textool with the notch pointing toward the display, then lower the lever to lock the EEPROM into place.

3. Leave the EEPROM locked in for the duration of the programming sequence(s), unless instructed to do otherwise. When programming is complete, raise the lever and carefully remove the EEPROM from the programmer. Replace the EEPROM i n the DIP socket in the radio, making sure that the notch is located in the same place as when the EEPROM was removed.

OPERATION

KEYBOARD

The Programmer is operated from the sixteen (16) keys which comprise the keyboard. These keys consist of the digits "0" through "9", "CLS", decimal point " (FUNC), (CONT) and (SHFT). Refer to Figure 1 for location.

Program execution is accomplished by using the keyboard to move through the various menus and fields. Figure 4 provides a flowchart of the MGP 300 program and Tables 1-8 provide a detailed description of all the menus and fields. The keyboard is also used for data entry. The function of the keys may vary depending upon the Mode the Programmer is in.

Mode Keys

The left-most digit on the MGP 300 display screen is a mode key status indicator. This decimal point remains lit at all times. There is a unique status character for each of the four keyboard modes:

1. "F." = Function key mode, set by pressing the "FUNC" key

2. "C." = Control key mode, set by pressing the "CONT" key

3. "S." = Alpha-Shift key mode, set by pressing the "SHFT" key

4. " ." = Normal Input mode

••", return "RETN" and three alternate mode keys:

Each of the three (3) alternate mode keys have the ability to replace the existing mode with its own. Operating in a toggle fashion, the key's input mode is retained after the key is released. When a mode key is pressed while its mode is active (determined by "F, C, or S" showing on the left of the screen), the mode will toggle back to the normal mode, (determined by "•" showing on the left of the display screen). The function of the mode key may change depending upon whether the user is menu selecting or entering data.

Menu Selection

With the CONT (C) key activated, use the 8 (é) key and the 0 (ê) key to step through the menus and fields. Select a menu or field by pressing the RETN key when the item is displayed. With the FUNC (F) key activated, press the CLS key to abort.

Depending upon the input mode, the function of the keys may change when the program is requesting data. As mentioned previously, the leftmost digit on the display is a status indicator of the present mode. Table 9 provides a guide to the function of the keys with respect to the input mode when the programmer is requesting data.
