3.2.4 Creating a Chromeleon Program
A Chromeleon program (sometimes called a PGM file) is a list of control
commands—to be executed at specified times—created by the user for
automated operation of the AS-HV. There are two ways to create
programs:
•
Automatically, using the Program Wizard
•
Manually, by modifying an existing program
This section provides an overview of how to create a program with the
Program Wizard. For detailed instructions, refer to the Chromeleon Help
or user’s guide.
To create a program:
1. Start the Chromeleon Server, if it is not already running:
If the Chromeleon Server icon on the Windows taskbar is crossed out
in red , the Server is not running. Start the Server by right-
clicking the icon and selecting Start Server . When the server is
running, the icon is gray .
If the Server Monitor icon is not on the taskbar, click Start on the
taskbar and select All Programs (or Programs , depending on the
operating system) > Chromeleon > Server Monitor . Click Start to
start the server.
2. To start the Chromeleon client, click Start on the Windows taskbar
and select All Programs (or Programs ) > Chromeleon >
Chromeleon .
3. Select File > New .
A dialog box appears.
4. Select Program File and click OK .
