53SU6000 INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
Introduction 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The 53SU6000 is a software product designed to run on an Intel
®
Pentium
®
-based Personal Computer
running the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 Professional/XP Professional operating system. This product pro-
vides a process control communications interface for the following Micro-DCI
®
instruments.
The Pentium processor is the minimum level processor for acceptable performance. In addition to the com-
puter, related hardware components are available for use with the 53SU6000 system. Interface cards for
Micro-DCI Datalink and MicroLink networks are available to provide high performance interfaces to the
Micro-DCI instrument line.
1.1 Overview
The Micro-DCI 53SU6000 system is a distributed process control and information management system
which provides the capability to divide process functions among many system components to provide
operating flexibility, system reliability, reduced system costs and ease of implementation. Distribution com-
bined with redundancy also allows system control and operating functions to be divided among system
elements to increase reliability and flexibility and to reduce risk.
1.2 Notation Conventions
Window titles, menu items, and the labels on keys and pushbuttons are shown in bold UPPER CASE type.
Text that the user types in, computer responses, and example text are shown in constant width type.
The term pushbutton refers to video buttons with a three-dimensional appearance; selecting such buttons
via the cursor positioning device (mouse or trackball) or keyboard causes them to appear “pushed in”.
Many of the windows which appear on the 53SU6000 system contain buttons labelled OK, CANCEL and
CLOSE. The OK button is used to save data and close the window in which it appears. The CANCEL but-
ton is used when data is not to be saved, and the current window closed. The CLOSE button is used when
there is no data to be saved, and the current window is to be closed (except in the case of dialog pop-up
windows, which are closed using an OK button).
