PEM Control Software
PEM Control Software allows the user to remotely operate the PEM-100 controller
from a PC. This section provides an overview of PEM Control Software installation
and the remote operation of the PEM-100 Controller.
Installing the PEM Control Software
Locate the ‘Photoelastic Modulators & Accessories’ CD (Hinds PN: 024-0000-012)
that was included with the PEM-100 shipment. Load the CD into the computer that
the PEM-100 will be connected to (Local Computer). Open the CD to the
‘Software\PEM Control Software’ folder and copy the folder to the desktop of the
local computer.
Note:
It is important that the CD folder is copied to the ‘local’ computer and not to a
network location. The PEM Control program cannot run from a network
location.
1. Click on the ‘dotnetfx.exe’ file. This installs the ‘Micorsoft.NET runtime, version
1.1’ onto the local computer.
2. Errors encountered during the ‘dotnefx.exe’ file install may occur if the PC user
does not have administrator privileges. See your System Administrator for file
installation assistance.
3. Copy the ‘PEMControl.exe’ file to the desktop or a desired location on the local
computer. This is the file that starts the PEM Control software.
Setup of PEM-100 Controller for use with PEM Control
Software
Ensure the PEM-100 Controller is set up as follows before attempting to use the
PEM Control Software:
1. The PEM-100 ‘RS-232’ port is connected to a COM port on the target computer.
Note the COM port number. Use the ‘PEM - RS232 Communication Cable’ for
this purpose.
2. A headset is connected to the PEM-100. Use the cable labeled ‘PEM Controller
to Head Cable’ for this purpose. Also, make sure the Electronic Head is
connected to the Optical head using the cable or cables provided.
