1. Introduction
Welcome to work with the graphic travel destination editor TED®plus, a Lawo® editor based on
Microsoft Windows.
This new editor, which is already available in Version 1.0, offers a large range of new functions
building on its predecessor, TED900, and all the possibilities offered to you by the Microsoft
Windows operating system in all its varieties.
Introductory note:
This description was produced with the help of TED®plus Version 1.0.0.54. You will often notice that the
term LLE appears in the images and the term LAWO in the text.
This is due to the renaming of LLE as LAWO.
Urgent note:
The first rule of caution is that one must save data and work on and change copies only.
As the function ‘Reverse changes’ has not yet been implemented, please save a copy of your
CUSTOM.CFG and the DISPLAY DATA to another source before working with them, as you should
do for all other data.

2.2 General instructions
Installation of the editor is a relatively simple procedure. An installation routine is followed, which sets
up a TEDplus folder in the C drive and copies in the files.
With Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows XP operating systems, a service is set up
(Driverx.SYS) and with Windows 9x a virtual device driver is installed (Driver.VXD).
In both cases, the drivers enter themselves in the registry during the first start procedure.
To remove the software, choose the SOFTWARE-icon under START / SETTINGS / CONTROL
PANEL and delete the entries under START / PROGRAMS.
2.2.1 Automatic installation
Insert the supplied CD ROM into the drive.
If the autostart function of the CD ROM drive is activated, the installation will begin automatically
after the drive has been closed.
Press the key
to proceed with installation

2.2.3 After installation
After installation select driver status
from the extras menu to check whether
the driver for the RAM card drive has been
installed properly.
This need only be done if your system has not recognised the drive. You need administrator rights to
carry it out.
If there is a green dot at the end of the drive status, everything is fine. If this is not the case, start up
CheckDriver.exe from the sub-folder Driver problems on the supplied CD ROM and follow the
procedures (the procedures are only valid for Windows NT, 2000, XP).
Procedures:
- close the program TED®plus
- extract to a directory
- start CheckDriver program
- then press “Remove driver“
- restart computer
- after restarting log on again as administrator
- start program again and press Install driver
If you have not specified any other installation
path, the Setup program will install TED®plus by
default in the (C:) drive
A new LAWO sub-folder will
be set up in the Programme
folder, in which further sub-folders
for TED®plus will be set up.

2.2.3.1 BUSDATEN folder
In the Bus data folder, find the sub-folder for the operating program (System),
the supplied fonts and all relevant data for the various bus configurations.
e.g. [bus name].FR1 for the front display,
[bus name].SR1 for the side right display,
[bus name].HE1 for the back display, if necessary
[bus name].SL1 for the side left display,
the relevant configuration data CUSTOM.cfg and the Card.cfg,
where bus name stands for the bus model. e.g. Citaro.FR1.
[bus name].FRA
[bus name].SRA
[bus name].HEA
[bus name].SLA
TEDplus secures the old status under
this name when saving. These
files exist for the restoration of lost
data. Rename e.g. FRA as FR1 for this
purpose.
Set up your own sub-folder structure in this folder, which will function as your data protection folder.
If you carry out a manual update of TED900 on TED®plus no destination files and no configuration
files CUSTOM.cfg will be supplied by us. In this case, copy your files into this folder or a
corresponding sub-folder, which you must set up yourself.

2.2.3.2 Own CUSTOM.CFG
If you use your own configuration file CUSTOM.CFG the path for the supplied fonts must be
changed.
A section of your CUSTOM.cfg should resemble this example:
;specifications for computer environment
Colour = yes
EprommerCOM = 1
;1 or 2
DownloadCOM = 1

Line figures = 3
Line behaviour = integrated
Messages = no
Cycle time = 20
Sender address = 1
Download model = DLAZ
Eprom model = M1
;Format: [bus name] (1 - 15 characters)
;possible: LLE8014, IBIS, Haeni, Init, Elgeba, or AEG
;for marcation of non-integrated lines
;possible: integrated, non-integrated, encoded
;enable/disable message entry
;unity: 1/10 s
;0 = no sender
;possible: no DL, DLAZ, DLZR
;possible: K256, K512, M1 ;commentary = "commentary"
Change path specifications for TED900 fonts (font path) and driver files (Bifid) with the help of a text
editor e.g. NOTEPAD (ASCII-Text !) as follows, never use WORD for this purpose.
font path = C:\Bus data\LLE\FONTS\ ; this is the new path
;BCIPfad = C:\TED900\LLEBCI\ ; is no longer necessary for TEDplus.
Path specification must agree with the font path on your computer.
Save the configuration files.
2.2.3.3 FONTS folder
In the fonts folder you will find all fonts supplied by us.
You should also set up a sub-folder ‘own fonts’ to save the supplied data, in order
to prevent this being overwritten by us during future updates.
In addition:
Always save changed fonts under a new name in your fonts folder.

3.4.3.3 Display menu
The Display menu allows the user to copy the complete data of a display (e.g. front display) and to
insert them into another display (e.g. right side display). The Align display texts function allows a
fast alignment of line numbers and text. If there are entries in symbol form, they must be adjusted as
described in Section 4.2.4, as the system aligns symbols as if they were text. Vertical alignment is not
advisable. If the data are removed by the Delete display data function, they are irretrievable.
Please note that the operations
Insert,
Delete and
Align
cannot be reversed.
It is recommended that you save
the data before implementing these
operations, in order to be able to
return to this point if necessary.
3.4.3.4 Entry menu
The entry menu conveniently allows you to copy the data of one entry for all displays (e.g. entry 1
of the front display, right side, rear and left side) and insert them into another entry (e.g. entry 200).
The active entry of all displays can be deleted.
It is also possible to apply these functions to individual columns.
The function define entry area allows the user to insert entries between entries 5 and 10, for
example. These are empty. Please note that all entries after entry 5 will be moved down. It is also
possible to delete entry areas.

entry 200 of the right side display).
The active cycle of the display can also be deleted.
Do not forget to save
beforehand
3.4.3.6 Font menu
In the font menu, fonts can be loaded, removed or replaced by another font (see Section 4.2.8).
A use statistic supplies information about which fonts are being used. It is also possible to find out
whether and how often a particular font is used. If, for example, the destination files exceed the
memory of the display computer, this menu can be used to check which fonts could be deleted and
replaced by others.
The font editor can be used to view a font, if, for example, a particular character is being looked for.
It is also possible to change a font and store it under a new name. There is a more precise
explanation of how to produce a new font in Section 5.
