RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Remote Control 3-5
Control Software for Windows
The included RGB 201 control program, graphical control
software for Windows, offers another way to control the
interface. The control software is compatible with Windows 3.1,
3.11, 95/98, and above.
Installing the software
The control program is contained on a set of 3.5-inch diskettes,
and, if you choose to use it, must be installed on and run from
the hard drive.
To install the software onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from
the installation disk #1, and follow the instructions that appear
on the screen. The program requires approximately 1.5 MB
(megabyte) of hard disk space.
By default the installation creates a C:\RGB201 directory, and it
places two icons (RGB 201 Control Pgm and RGB 201 Help) into
a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.
Using the software
To run the control program, follow these steps:
1
. Double-click on the RGB 201 Control Pgm
icon in the Extron Electronics group or
folder, or on the Rgb201.exe icon in the
C:\RGB201 directory. The Comm menu
appears on the screen.
2 . Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface’s
RS-232 port. The control software checks for the interface
at that port and reads its configuration.
The control program window (Figure 3-2) appears and
displays current settings.
