9. PGUI/PGUI32 Setup and Installation
This section covers installation of the PGUI from the distribution disk to the user’s PC. Make
sure the PC is capable of running Windows with at least 16 Mbyte of memory and 4 Mbyte of
available hard disk space.
9.1 Connecting the AC Source to the PC
Connect the AC source to the PC using an RS232C cable.
The AC source com port settings are set as follows:
Baud rate:
9600 baud
Data bits:
8
Stop bits
1
Parity bits:
none
Handshake:
Hardware
The AC source is configured to accept the above setting.
9.2 Installing the PGUI Software
9.2.1 PGUI 16 Bit for Windows 3.1
The PGUI software is distributed on a 3.5 inch high density diskette. The PGUI must be
installed from this diskette as all required files are compressed. You cannot copy the contents
of this disk to your PC hard drive and run it. To install the PGUI, proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the PC and boot up in Windows™.
2. Insert the PGUI disk in drive A or B. If you do not have a 3.5 inch drive on the PC,
you can copy the contents of the disk to a 5.25 inch diskette on a PC that is
equipped with both drive types.
3. From the Program Manager, select the “File” Menu.
4. From the File Menu, select “Run...”
5. At the prompt, type “A:SETUP” or “B:SETUP” depending on the drive designator of
the drive in which you inserted the disk.
The setup program will first ask you for the destination directory on the hard disk where you
want the PGUI installed. The default directory is “C:\PGUI”
