GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)

The BBE SYSOMAX software provides a graphical method of creating and editing programs on the DS48. It can also be used to make changes in real time, if adjustments are required during live operation. Full metering and control of all settings is available on the PC.

Because it provides a more graphic and overall view, this method will allow you to program settings more efficiently than using the front panel naviga- tion method on the DS48.

Though the DS48 stores up to 30 programs, a virtually unlimited number can be written and stored on a computer with the software installed.

Programs can be created whether or not the computer is connected to the DS48 processor. However, it must be connected to write or modify pro- grams to the on-board memory of the DS48 itself.

All the functions available onboard the unit are duplicated in the software.
