FAQ side
I don't get a picture of my screen shoot
First of all, please check, that you'r using the wright cable
(exception
of the LMG310, you always need a normal seriel 1:1 cable).
Is the cable correct pluged on the LMG ComA (LMG310 Aux-socket) at a
free
seriel port of your PC?
Is the choosen com port equivalent to the selected port in "BMP2PC" (Options->settings)? (please also
take look at: Using an USB adapter)
Usual, the baudrate for BMP2PC is set to 115200 baud. Please take a
look at the LMG, if this settings are OK, by pressing Print/log and
followed Set. If it´s not 115200 baud, please set it to 115200.
Using an USB adapter
If you dont don't have any com ports or no free com ports on your
PC, you can use an USB adapter. By using an USB adapter, the PC
provides you a virtuel com port. This depence at which USB port the
adapter is connected or how many ports already allocated. Be carefull,
BMP2PC support only com1...com9.
To identify, which virtuel com port the USB adapter got, you have to
start BMP2PC, without the adapter. Open the settings menu and take a
look at the com ports, which where found. Close MBP2PC and connect the
adapter. Please wait a few seconds, till the adapter is installed from
windows. Then start again BMP2PC, open the settings menu and look
at the com ports. You will find the old ones and also a new one, which
is the virtuel com port of the adapter.
How do I get the pictures into another application?
You can get the picture by cut and paste into another application,
or save it on your harddisk and reload it into your application.
I want to make a report only with black/white pictures
You got two ways to get the color pictures into black/white. First,
load the saved pictures into a paint program (e.g. Paintshop) and save
it with 256 greyscales. The other way is to change the display of the
LMG450 from color into black/white. To do this, push the misc button of
the LMG followed by the the color button. After changing into
black/white, all BMP2PC pictures also will be black/white.
I could'nt change the connection parameters
Probably, you still got got a remote connection to the PC. Also
when no data will be send anymore, this could be possible. Check if the
LMG is in remote mode. In the upper right side of the display,
it´s shown of it's in remote or local state. If it's in remote,
you must go into the interface menu and press the button goto local, or
press the unconnect button in BMP2PC.
Do I get BMP2PC also for Linux?
