Functional Overview
Pro's
- Works very well in Ubuntu with Wine.
- Uploaded and downloaded to a BCT15X.
- Connected to the RR DB with no issues.
- The Virtual Control Panel closely resembles the BCT15X selected. Complete eye candy. Not just a generic panel.
- Lower profile VCP than the others.
Con's
- Couldn't find any.
Didn't test any of the higher end functions other than viewing logs. No recording function tests performed.
Installation Process (Ubuntu 15.10)
This instruction should be followed after all OS updates are applied with Wine not installed. This will probably work for all Debian based distributions of Linux.
Install Wine First
Please follow the Linux Setup Guide Here
Precaution: If you have Wine installed it is highly recommended that you start off with a fresh 32 Bit prefix and a correctly installed .NET Framework by deleting your ~/.wine directory and see the link above to reinstall.
Install ProScan 10.0 here (Good for 30 Days then $50)
- Download from here: http://www.proscan.org/
- Extract file in your download directory.
- Install:
wine ~/Downloads/ProScan_10_0.exe
- Note: The OS needs to be in the Proscan folder when started otherwise it won't find its dll. There's probably a fix for it by someone smarter than me with Linux.
- As a work around you can change the directory before starting in your script:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/ProScan/ wine ProScan.exe
- After starting from the toolbar select "Comm Port" to set up your communication.
