980 User Interface 

The 980B/980R provide a graphical user interface for operation. This GUI can run both on the 980B/980R through 
the built-in color touch screen display or as a standalone application running on a PC. The look and feel and 
functions are similar but not identical. The first illustration below shows a PC (left) connected to the 980B through 
an Ethernet cable for operation through the external 980 GUI Manager. The second illustration depicts the 
embedded 980 GUI Manager.     

1.4.1

 

External 980 GUI Manager 

The external 980B GUI Manager provides convenient operation of the 980 DP 1.4 Video Generator module from 
your PC. The larger screen size on the external 980 GUI Manager enables you to use multiple panels at the same 
time. 

 

1.4.2

 

Embedded 980 GUI Manager 

You can operate the 980B/980R fully through the built-in color touch screen display.
