Using the 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.
