2.4 KDCGUI Installation

This section covers installation of the KDCGUI from the distribution disk to the user’s PC. To

successfully install and operate the KDCGUI program, you will need the following equipment:

Argantix KDC Series DC power supply.

PC capable of running Windows 98™ , Windows 2000 or Windows XP

 RS232C communications port and straight-through RS232C serial cable (supplied with

the product.)

 If option -IF (GPIB) is installed, a National Instruments IEEE-488 Controller Card

Note: The KDCGUI can be run in the absence of a DC power supply. If no DC supply is

available, the KDCGUI can be operated in a simulation mode. The program will

detect these conditions and start up in simulation mode after notifying the

operator. Measurements in this case will be simulated and should not be used for

any analytical purpose.

2.4.1 Connecting to the PC Using RS232

Connect the power supply to the PC using an RS232C cable. A straight-through 9 pin DB9 male

to DB9 female cable can be used. This cable is supplied in the skip kit for the KDC Series

supply. (P/N 250709)

The power supply RS232C port settings are set as follows:

Baud rate: Selectable from Configuration menu. . Refer to the KDC Series User Manual

(P/N 5005-960) for details. Set KDCGUI baud rate to match baud rate selected

on DC Supply.

Data bits: 8

Stop bits 1

Parity bits: none

Handshake: Hardware

The DC supply must be configured to match the above settings.

2.4.2 Connecting to the PC Using the optional IEEE-488/GPIB interface

Connect the power supply to the PC using an IEEE-488 interface cable. A National Instruments

GPIB controller card is required to use the KDCGUI program. Set the desired IEEE address

from the configuration menu. See section 2.3.
