Control Software for Windows

The included RGB 201 control program, graphical control software for Windows, offers another way to control the interface. The control software is compatible with Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95/98, and above.

Installing the software

The control program is contained on a set of 3.5-inch diskettes, and, if you choose to use it, must be installed on and run from the hard drive.

To install the software onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the installation disk #1, and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program requires approximately 1.5 MB (megabyte) of hard disk space.

By default the installation creates a C:\RGB201 directory, and it places two icons (RGB 201 Control Pgm and RGB 201 Help) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

Using the software

To run the control program, follow these steps:

1. Double-click on the RGB 201 Control Pgm icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder, or on the Rgb201.exe icon in the C:\RGB201 directory. The Comm menu appears on the screen.

2. Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface’s RS-232 port. The control software checks for the interface at that port and reads its configuration.

The control program window (Figure 3-2) appears and displays current settings.
