Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The GUI is a program which runs on a PC under Windows, and provides a simple and convenient way to set up local or remote units before use. It can also be used in conjunction with the telemetry inputs and outputs as a display and control console (mimic panel) during normal operation. It is connected to the serial port of the local or master unit.

vThe Orion can also be interrogated and controlled using your own equipment and software. Again, a connection to the serial port of the local or master unit is required. AT commands (detailed in Appendix A on page 21) are used for local units and over-air commands (detailed in Appendix B on page 27) for remote units.

Serial Connection

If the Orion is configured for RS232 serial data, a cable of this pattern should be used to connect the COM port of the PC which will run the GUI to the serial port of the Orion:

If the Orion is configured for RS422 or RS485 working, the PC must communicate with it using the matching protocol, and be connected to it with the corresponding serial port connections shown in the table on page 8.

Software Installation

The GUI software is provided on a CD-ROM with an automatic installer. Insert the CD- ROM in the PC’s CD drive to auto-run the program which installs the GUI software on your computer.

vIf auto-run is disabled, you should run the file SETUP.EXE in the root directory of the CD to install the software.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the software installation.

The GUI is now ready to run. Keep the CD in a safe place in case it is needed again.
