So for OPCS, install the "RTMC48.COM" driver. The "H1" 40 pin connector (upper-left) is the steps/direction. The "H2" 40 pin connector (upper-right) is the "logic" connector. For OPCS, only the "H1" connector should be used. On the H1 connector, pin #1 is at the lower-left of the connector (component side facing you). This card has 3 jumper blocks, whose "factory" settings are: JP1: o-o o -- sets voltage for pin #1 (OPCS: dont care) JP2: o o o o o -- sets samples-per-second(?) (default: 120/sec) | | | o o o o o JP3: o o o o o o -- sets the IRQ (default IRQ 5) | o o o o o o ..where '-' is a horizontal jumper, and '|' is a vertical jumper. KUPER PORT MONITOR PROGRAM The OPCS software comes with kuper.exe, a program that monitors the realtime status of the Kuper logic port. Run 'kuper.exe'.
