CHAPTER 5: Digital Operation RS-232 & SmartTrak Software 

 

Your SmartTrak instrument may be operated in three different ways: 

THREE CONTROL OPTIONS 

 

A.

 

Analog Input/Output Operation (Chaper 3): 

Using analog input/output signals at the 

15-pin mini- D connector. 

 

B.

 

Digital Operation with Pilot Module (Chapter 4): 

Using the optional Pilot Module. 

 

C.

 

Digital Operation with RS-232 and SmartTrak Software (This Chapter): 

Using the RS- 

232 SmartTrak Software package and a PC-style computer running the Windows 
operating system. 

 

This chapter will discuss “C” above—Digital Operation with your computer via RS-232 
and SmartTrak Software. Although you have chosen to use the RS-232 option, please note 
that all the Analog control functions are still available on your instrument. Consult Chapter 
3 for details on Analog operation.  Also, the Pilot Module may be used so long as you 
make RS-232 communication with the supplied CRN cable. See Chapter 4 for details on 
operation using the Pilot Module. 

 

If you prefer to write your own software to communicate with the SmartTrak over the RS- 
232 link, this is certainly possible. Vögtlin Instruments will provide the Source Code 
including the Command Set upon request. Unfortunately, this is the limit of software 
Technical Support we can extend. 

 

Summary of the SmartTrak Features 

Your SmartTrak instrument may be easily monitored and adjusted using the supplied 
SmartTrak Software package. You should note that the SmartTrak Software was designed 
with all the same functions as the Pilot Module. The software allows you to see all 
changes & parameters at a glance and will allow you to make changes quickly and easily. 
For review, the features of the SmartTrak include:
