Section 4. The PC400 Main Screen

This section provides an overview of PC400, a detailed description of the communications
tabs and pull-down menus of the PC400 Main Screen, and an overview of PC400’s
troubleshooting tools.

4.1 Overview

To start PC400 go to the start menu of the computer and select the PC400 icon
under Start | Programs | Campbell Scientific | PC400. You can alternatively use
the shortcut on the desktop if you elected to create one during the installation
process.

PC400 offers an integrated main screen, with three tabs for basic
communications functions (Clock/Program, Monitor Data, and Collect Data),
and buttons from which to launch stand alone applications to work with data
files or create datalogger programs.

Setting up and configuring PC400 to communicate with dataloggers is done
with the EZSetup Wizard. This wizard appears automatically the first time you
run PC400. To add additional dataloggers, click the Add button on the main
toolbar to bring up the EZSetup Wizard again. Editing existing datalogger and
communications settings is also done through this wizard, via the Edit button.
