Galil DMC-3425 user manual Using Galil Software for Windows

Using Galil Software for Windows

In order for the Windows software to communicate with a Galil controller, the controller must be registered in the Windows Registry. To register a controller, you must specify the model of the controller, the communication parameters, and other information. The registry is accessed through the Galil software, such as WSDK or DMCSmartTerm.

The registry window is equipped with a button to Add a New Controller, change the Properties of an existing controller, Delete a controller, or Find an Ethernet controller.

Use the New Controller button to add a new entry to the Registry. Use the Properties button to change the properties of a current controller. For a new registration, you will need to supply the Galil Controller type. The controller model number must be entered. If you are changing an existing controller, this field will already have an entry. Pressing the down arrow to the right of this field will reveal a menu of valid controller types. Once the DMC-3425 has been selected, there is a choice for either Serial or Ethernet communication, as shown below. Select Serial communication.
