9.1 Introduction
The KDC Series comes standard with an RS232C serial interface on the rear panel. It can
optionally be furnished with a combination IEEE-488 and RPV analog control interface at the time
of purchase. The GPIB interface is part of the -IF option package.
Units are shipped with the Argantix KDC Graphical User Interface program - KDCGUI. This
Windows™ program provides a soft front panel to the instrument when connected to a PC
through the RS232C or IEEE-488 interface. Additional benefits are obtained from using the PC
as a control interface. Some of these benefits include the ability to store measurement data to
disk and produce output transients to simulate commonly occurring AC line conditions.
The KDCGUI is a Windows™ program and as such requires a PC capable of running Windows
98™, or Windows NT /2000/XP. For best performance, a Pentium based PC is recommended.
Complete information on how to use the KDCGUI can be found in the on-line help supplied with
the program. Use the Help menu or press on any of the many Help keys located in all program
windows for an explanation of the relevant screen or function.
