If your computer has a PS/2 port (a port available on most PC that can be used to plug in a 

mouse or keyboard. It has a socket for a 6-pin mini-DIN plug), you can plug in the other end of 

the power cord to the PS/2 port to supply power for the encoder. If you cannot find a PS/2 port 

on the computer, the other end of the power cord should have a power adapter that you need to 

plug into a wall outlet to get power supply. 

 

If you can locate a serial port on your computer, this is where you should plug in the other end of 

the data cord. Otherwise, a Serial-to-USB converter should come with the data cord to connect 

with the computer. Figure 5.1C shows the rear view of a computer that has the power cord 

plugged into the PS/2 port and the data cord connected with a Serial-to-USB converter. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After you have connected the encoder, turn on your computer. When power is supplied to the 

encoder, you should hear a beep and the red LED on the top panel of the encoder is on (see 

Figure 5.1A). 

 

Your computer may have been programmed to run the “Generate VID” module automatically 

when it is turned on (you will see Figure 5.1E displayed on the computer screen). Otherwise, 

find the “Generate VID” shortcut icon on the Windows desktop screen and double-click it to run 

the program.
