ScanControl

One Program, Multiple Scanners, Made in USA

separate files & folders depending on the IAC grouping chosen on the ScanControl Program Options

screen.

Getting Started

1. Connect scanner to an available PC serial port via the cable supplied by the scanner

manufacturer.

2. Turn scanner power on.

3. Start the ScanControl software by clicking on START, PROGRAMS, SCANCONTROL from

the Start Menu or by selecting <drive>:\<install directory path>\Scanctrl.exe from within

Windows Explorer.

4. When ScanControl starts it attempts to connect to the scanner automatically by searching all

available COM ports and displays the screen below:

Figure 1 - Radio Search Screen

It detects the Baud Rate and COM port in use by the radio automatically. If for some reason

ScanControl cannot connect to your radio automatically you will get an error message. Check

your radio, cable, etc. again. If you get this message you have 3 options: 1) Abort – Exit the

program. 2) Retry – Attempt to connect to the radio again. 3) Ignore – Proceed through the

error message and go to the Main Control Screen. Once the correct COM port and speed are

detected and communications with the radio is established these settings will be saved and used

by ScanControl every time it is run in the future until the radio is reconfigured. Once radio

communication is established the first time you may get a warning message saying “Data File

Not Forward Compatible … “. This is normal if you are not connecting a BC245XLT scanner to

ScanControl. As a default ScanControl expects a BC245XLT radio. Click on OK to continue

through the message. ScanControl then remembers the radio now connected and establishes it as

your default.
