HC4601 Service & Identity
1 Scope
This document covers a description of how to generate upload files of configuration data and
other settings using the 150W MF/HF Radio MMI simulator, for the subsequent upload to an
actual radio.
The MMI simulator is a Windows-based program which closely matches both the software
behavior and the display response of the actual radio equipment.
The MMI simulator requires Windows 3.1 or later and the monitor/display must provide a
resolution of 800x600 as a minimum and a 16 bits color depth or better.
.
The Control Unit (CU) HC4601 Class E has been designed for preprogrammed TX frequencies only. The Sailor distributor is responsible for the task of programming the relevant
frequencies in the actul radio, using this simulator for preparing the upload file containing
these frequencies.
2 Description of the 150Watt MF/HF Radio MMI
simulator
2.1 Installation
The MMI Simulator is delivered as one single executable file. As the simulator suggests file
operations in the same directory as the simulator itself, it’s a good idea to make a directory,
somewhere on your hard-disc, and move the executable file there, before running it.
2.2 Run
To run the MMI simulator double click on the program file. This will open the main window.
Next time the program is started, it will open in the same status in which it was closed down.
The following sub-paragraphs describe the menu system in brief.

scanning tables.
2.2.2 System
The System menu covers functions involving the entire system including control of external
equipment connected to radio.
2.2.3 CU
The CU-menu covers Control Unit related functions. Selection of live windows to what
happens within the software.
2.2.4 TU

keypad.
2.3 File
2.3.1 Load
Commands the upload of the created files to the actual radio CU HC4601
2.3.2 Save
Having selected the required settings valid for the actual radio using this MMI simulator it’s
possible to save different parts of these settings in files which may later be uploaded to the
actual radio - or loaded back into the MMI simulator, if so required.
2.3.3 Exit
Exits the MMI simulator programme.
