Control Software for Windows

The Windows-based Extron PIP 422 & 444 Control Program, which communicates
with the processor via the RS-232/RS-422 port, provides an easy way to configure
and operate the PIP. The program is compatible with Windows 2000 and
Windows XP.

Installing the software

The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM, disk B.
Install the software as follows:

For full functionality, install both of the following programs:

•

The PIP 422 & 444 Control Program

•

The Firmware Loader

Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation program should start
automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the CD.

The Extron software CD window appears (figure 4-2).
