Appendix B. PanaView™ programming
B.1 Introduction
Panametrics offers a Windows-based instrument interface
software called PanaView . This software is installed on a
personal computer (PC) and communicates with many
Panametrics instruments via an RS-232 serial port link. The
purpose of PanaView is to permit remote access to the
instrument.
B.2 Initial setup
Before you can use PanaView with the XDP, the following
setup steps must be completed:
1. Install PanaView on the PC.
2. Connect the XDP serial port to the PC serial port.
3. Power up the XDP.
4. Launch PanaView.
5. Use PanaView to establish communications with
the XDP.
NOTE: A detailed user’s manual is included with the
PanaView software. All of the above steps are thoroughly
described in that manual (Panametrics document 910-211).
With the PanaView network tree fully expanded, your
PanaView screen should look similar to "Figure 10" on
page 40 .
B.3 Viewing data
PanaView may be used to view the live measurement data
being collected by the XDP. This display is in addition to the
standard LCD screen on the face of the instrument. There
are several advantages to using PanaView to view your
live data. Among these are:
• The PC with the XDP data display may be located in a
safe area remote from the XDP installation site.
• The data may be displayed in either text or graphical
format.
• Both text and graphical displays may be viewed at the
same time.
• Multiple parameters may be viewed simultaneously.
For example, the transmitter signal may be displayed
in both mA and ppm/pcnt values in separate windows
at the same time.
For detailed instructions on setting up and customizing
the text and graphical data displays, see the PanaView
user’s manual (Panametrics document 910-211). As an
example, "Figure 11" on page 41 shows the simultaneous
text displays of an oxygen signal input in both mA and
ppm/pcnt values.
As a further example of using PanaView to view your live
data, "Figure 12" on page 41 shows a typical display that
includes both the text and graphical windows for the
oxygen ppm/pcnt values.
