4" Color Touch Panels with Audio
Using the CP4/A Programming Jacks
The programming jack (located on the side of either AXT or AXD touch panels) is used for
programming/communication between the CP4/A touch panel and TPDesign3. The programming
jack uses a three-wire, 2.5 mm stereo port. The optional (female to female) Axcess programming
cable (FG10-727) is used to bridge the connection between the programming cables’ male terminal
connector and the male RS-232 port on the rear of your PC (FIG. 24).
To download and upload TPDesign3 touch panel pages:
1. Connect the stereo plug (male) end of the programming cable into the programming jack on
the side of the CP4/A.
2. Connect the male DB9 end of the cable into the female connector on the optional Axcess
programming cable.
3. Connect the other end of the Axcess programming cable to the male DB9 port on the back of
your computer.
4. Configure the communication parameters in TPDesign3.
