Serial Interface Software
Installation:
The following Serial Interface Software is provided on a CD ROM disk:
Serial Power Supply Control Program (GHV.exe):
This program can run on
Windows XP and later. GHV.exe should be copied from the CD to a
writeable location on the hard drive in order to store the power supply
parameters. Power supply parameters will be stored in GHV.ini. This file
will be created after the program is launched from a writeable location for the
first time. Both files must remain in the same folder/sub-directory to recall
power supply parameters when launched. This file is located in the root (\) of
the CD.
USB drivers
: USB communications between a MS Windows computer and the
serial interface is implemented using USB drivers installed on the computer.
These drivers allow USB communications via a "virtual com port". USB
drivers MUST be installed in order to use the USB communications interface
feature. Installation instructions for the USB drivers are provided in a PDF
file supplied by the driver vendor. These files are located in the
\Drivers\USB\ folder on the CD. Run Setup.exe to install.
Labview drivers
: Labview drivers are provided. In addition, a generic sample
power supply control template is provided with application notes.
Customizing is done by the user as required to match the power supply
features available. These files are located in the \Drivers\Labview\ folder on
the CD. You must have the Labview software to use these drivers.
Ethernet Installation and set up: (units with Ethernet Option only):
IP Address:
With the power supply connected to the network and powered on, run the
Digi Device Discovery program from the supplied CD. The program must be
permitted to access the network by any firewall program in use. The program
will locate the power supply by its unique MAC Address. Choose ‘Configure
Device Settings’ from the task list on the left. Select ‘Manually configure
network settings.’ Set an IP Address, Subnet Mast, and Gateway as required
for the local network and save.
Choose ‘Open Web Interface’ from the task list or open a web browser to the
IP address of the device (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Enter the default login
when prompted.

Under Configuration, select ‘Serial Ports.’ Select ‘Port 1’ and choose ‘Real
Port Profile,’ then ‘Apply.’ Next, select ‘GPIO’ also under Configuration.
Change Pin 2 mode to ‘Out,’ Initial Output State to ‘asserted,’ then ‘Apply.’
Logout of the web interface.
Note: In order to switch back to either RS232 or USB control, the above
process must be repeated and GPIO pin 2 output must be de-asserted.
