Using the GUI

Ensure that the serial comms port of the PC which is used to run the GUI program is connected to the Orion using a suitable cable as described on page 9. The type of cable depends on whether your Orion’s serial port uses RS232, RS422 or RS485.

vNote that this is NOT a standard serial cable, which must not be used. The GUI must have been installed on the PC as described on page 9.

Switch on power to the Orion.

Start the GUI, typically by double-clicking the icon on the desktop, or selecting Start, Programs, Wood & Douglas, Orion GUI. You should see a display similar to the following, depending on whether you are currently able to connect to an Orion and what options are in force:
