8.1 Introduction
The 2001RP can be furnished with a combination IEEE-488 and RS232C control interface at the
time of purchase. This interface is part of the -OP1 option package. This interface option also
includes the California Instruments Graphical User Interface program - PGUI32. 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 PGUI32 is a Windows™ program and as such requires a PC capable of running Windows
Windows 95™, Windows 98™, or Windows NT
™
/2000. For best performance, a Pentium based
PC is recommended. Intel™ 80486 based PC's will exhibit poor performance while generating
transients due to their lack of processing speed.
Complete information on how to use the PGUI32 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.
As always, California Instruments appreciates your patronage and would welcome any
comments and suggestions you might have regarding this software or any of its other products.
