9.0  PC Control Software 

 

The XP series is shipped with a special PC Graphic User Interface (GUI) 
application - XConsole. XConsole gives the user an option to control the 
unit from a remote PC via the serial communication link. The GUI 
application makes it much easier to control and monitor the device, 
allowing the user to get the whole picture on one screen. Programs can be 
recalled and stored from/to PC’s hard drive, thus expanding the storage to 
become virtually limitless.    
 
XConsole can be connected to the XP series via RS232, USB or Ethernet.  
USB requires the installation of additional driver.  The user is given an 
option to install it during the installation of XConsole, and if the user did not 
install it at that time, they may choose to do so by running the USB driver 
installer from the provided software CD.
