C.2 Programming with PanaView™
You can program the XGF868i with PanaView™, a Panametrics PC-based, non-resident software program that communicates
with the XGF868i via its RS232 serial port.
C.2.1 Preparing for PanaView programming
Before you attempt to communicate with the XGF868i,
be sure you have linked your PC to the XGF868i via an
RS232 interface. For details on wiring the interface, refer
to
Wiring the serial port
in the
Startup guide
, and to the
document
EIA-RS Serial communications
(916-054).
You must also install PanaView, as described in the
PanaView User’s manual
(910-211).
C.2.2 Setting up the communications port
Use the steps below to establish PanaView communications
with the XGF868i.
1. Launch PanaView, as discussed in
Chapter 3, Initial
setup
,
of the
PanaView User’s manual
.
2. Open the
new meter browser
window in the
file
menu
and expand the network tree. Then, highlight the
my
computer (name)
branch by clicking on it.
3. Pull down the
edit
menu by clicking on it in the
menu bar.
4. Click on the
new
menu option to select it, and a submenu
opens with two choices on it (see
Figure 32
below).

5. Click on the
communications port
option to select it.
The
setup communications
screen appears similar to
Figure 33:
Setup communications
screen
6. Open the protocol menu (the first of the drop-down
menus) and click on
IDM
.
7. Open the COM port type menu and click on the
desired type (or on
TCP/IP
, if the XGF868i is using an
Ethernet connection).
NOTE:
If you select TCP/IP, the menu changes, proceed
to the next page.
8. Select any suitable available baud rate. A baud rate
of 19200 is appropriate for almost all applications.
However, if you experience periodic communication
reliability problems, you may wish to consider lowering
the baud rate on your instrument and in PanaView.
IMPORTANT
Be sure all the communications port settings match those
made in setting up the meter’s serial port.
9. Click on [ok] to complete data entry.
