Program operation

Launching and closing the program

In the Start menu at the bottom left of the screen, click [TEAC] > [TD-SC1 Setup] to launch the TD-SC1 Setup program.
When running, it will always try to connect with the TD-SC1.
When not connected, “TD-SC1 Setup – file version [OFF LINE]” will appear in the window title bar.

Click at the top right of the main window to close the program.
The following menu will open before closing. Click “Yes” to save to the unit’s ROM. By doing this, the settings will be retained even if the unit is turned off.
(Clicking “Update ROM” at the bottom of the main window has the same effect. “Update ROM” becomes available when settings have been changed.)

    Click the “TEDS Disp.” button to open the setting dialog.
    The left side shows the current TEDS memory values and the right side shows the current rated output, rated capacity and calibration date. Click the “TEDS Write” button to open a request for the write password. Input “000015”. When writing succeeds, a “Succeeded” message will appear.

  • TEDS Restore          Restore calibration values that were changed using “TEDS Write” to product factory defaults. (If writing has not been conducted once, restoring will                                   fail.) Click the “TEDS Restore” button to open a request for the restore password. Input “000015”. When restoring succeeds, a “Succeeded”                                                  message  will appear.
