Resolution for Symptom 2
Execute the suggested procedure to resolve symptom 1 first. If an occasional error continues to
occur while slewing the voltage or frequency slider controls in the PGUI32 program, add a
command delay to the PGUI32 Registry Interface section using the following procedure. This
symptom may occur on some PC’s.
Procedure
1. Close the PGUI32 program if it is still open.
2. Run the Windows Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) from the Run command line.
3. Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key and double click on it
4. Locate the Software key and double click on it.
5. Locate the VB and VBA Program Settings and double click on it.
6. Locate the Pgui32 key and double click on it.
7. Locate the Interface Key and double click on it.
8. In the right pane of the Registry Editor should be an entry called “CmdDelay”. If no such
entry is present add it yourself.
9. The default value for the CmdDelay is set to 20. Change this value to 40 by double clicking
on the CmdDelay key and entering the new value from the keyboard.
10. Close the Registry Editor when done.
11. Try to connect again. You may have to cycle the power on the AC source if it still shows the
Err -100 display.
Higher values than 40 may be set for the CmdDelay parameter if this fix does not resolve your
problem.
