1: MiniTermPro Installation and Quick Start Guide
Your MiniTermPro package should include the following items:
o This Quick Start Guide
o Product CD
o MiniTerm 9xx LCD/keypad
o USB cable (and optionally an RS-232 cable with 5v DC adapter)
The Mini Data Terminal (MiniTerm) 9xx keypad works with:
o Any OS in RS232 and HID modes.
o Any OS that supports USB CDC class virtual com ports.
o Genovation’s proprietary virtual serial mode works with Windows.
The MiniTermPro configuration software is designed to work with computers
running Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10
operating systems.
Install Software
Insert the CD into the target computer’s CD drive. If the Installation program
does not start immediately, navigate to the CD using Explorer and run Setup.exe.
You should see the following screen:
Click Yes to begin the installation

.

Network admins: You may use the /silent flag if you are automating the installation.
Genovation, Inc. 8 MiniTermPro
There are two installation types, Full (“Normal”) and Basic (“Simplified”). You
should choose NORMAL unless you know that you will never need to reprogram
your MiniTerm.
o If you do plan to download custom settings to your MiniTerm, then select
NORMAL Installation.
o If you don’t plan on downloading custom settings to your MiniTerm, then
select SIMPLIFIED Installation. The SIMPLIFIED installation omits
MacroMaster9xx.exe and its example files.
Genovation, Inc. 9 MiniTermPro
Continue clicking Next until you see an “Install” button. Then click Install.
You may be prompted to install the Windows CDC Driver, if so, click Next and
then when that completes, click Finish.
Finally, the setup completes.
Genovation, Inc. 10 MiniTermPro
Check the “Launch Genovation MiniTermPro” box if you want to run the
application immediately.
Click Finish to complete the installation.
The Setup procedure will create an item in the Startup folder that automatically
starts MiniTermPro every time you start your computer.
When the MiniTermPro application is running, you will see the MiniTermPro icon
in the system tray.
Install Hardware
MiniTermPro is very forgiving with regard to adding new hardware. You may
plug in new hardware at any time. If you have not already plugged in your
MiniTerm 9xx device(s), do so now. Please wait for the device to be identified by
the PC.
Select Virtual COM Port (Genovation USB Virtual Serial mode)
Right click on the icon located in the system
tray and select Configure MinTerms from the
context menu.
When the Attention reminder dialog appears,
click OK to dismiss it. You will then see a
screen such as shown on the next page (see
MiniTerm #3). This is how you assign a COM
port to the MiniTerm.
IMPORTANT! In Genovation’s standard Virtual Serial mode
2
, the COM port you
choose will be tied to the USB jack on your PC (or USB HUB), so if you
remove your keypad, make sure to re-plug it into the same USB jack. If you use
a HUB we recommend it be of self-powered type (uses an AC adapter).
2
The USB CDC class driver host mode uses the keypad serial number to assign the COM Port.
