2.2 Supplied System Software
The supplied software program, used to configure each system control module, may be run on any PC running Windows
®
XP, Vista, or 7. The menu-driven program walks the user through the many scanning and output options. After the desired
options are selected, the user can save the combination of selections in a Parameter Setup File (PSF), and store it in the
control module’s non-volatile memory. Any number of PSFs may be stored in the computer and recalled as needed.
The software also provides alignment and diagnostics routines. An Alignment screen displays the individual status of each
beam in the light screen, as well as the total number of beams in the system, and totals of beams blocked, made, and
blanked. Built-in system diagnostics can be used to assess emitter and receiver hardware errors.
