PC Interface Software Operation
Introduction
The PC service tool software is executed
on a Windows compatible PC. When the
COM port of the PC is connected to the
RS-232C port of the GECO™
Stoichiometric control (DB9 connector),
the service tool software will provide
monitoring and display of the set-up and
tuning parameters of the GECO control
application software.
The RS-232C connection is made with a
straight-through (no null modem adapter)
cable, 9-pin “DB9” male to 9-pin “DB9”
female.
The GECO PC software includes the
interface screens with separate “frames” for related data or functions. The
following sections explain operator navigation and describe the individual
screens, frame by frame. Like the Hand-Held Terminal, many of the frames
indicate fault status, and these faults can be cleared using the ENTER key. In
addition, the PC interface allows configuration changes.
To install the GECO PC interface software:
1. Insert the CD or diskette in the appropriate disk drive.
2. Run the file named “GECOPC_Setup.exe” and follow the on-screen
instructions, selecting an install folder and default COM port.
To start the GECO PC software:
1. With a DB9 male to DB9 female RS-232 cable, connect the on-line control
DB9 female RS-232 port to the PC DB9 serial port.
2. Using the Start menu, go to Programs and find the newly created GECO PC
Service Tool shortcut.
3. Run this shortcut to execute the Service Tool file.
The control will attempt communication on the requested COM port before
closing on a failed communication attempt. If a different COM port is needed, it
must be entered in the command line as a “-“ flag (i.e. GECO_PC.exe – com3). If
metric units are needed, add “-siunits.” If the “-siunits” flag is not used, the default
units are US.
