Appendix A
Serial Control for the
CUV-TLC-50F
Overview
Serial Control permits the remote temperature control via a serial interface on a computer using a
Windows operating system. The option consists of a cable that connects the Temperature Controller with
the computer, and software. The software includes QNW_SC.exe, a sample control program that enables
control, and recovers and plots temperature data. For those who wish to write their own control programs,
example programs and libraries of functions are provided for use with both Borland and Microsoft
development systems.
Setup and Software Installation
► Procedure
1. Use the provided cable to connect from the lower (9-pin) connector on the back of the
temperature controller to a serial interface of your computer (typically COM1).
2. Place the installation CD in the computer’s CD drive and run Setup.exe from the CD. All
files will be placed in the directory specified during installation (default is C:\QNW Serial
Control), except for QnwSerial.DLL, which will be installed in the Windows System
directory.
3. To check the interface, run the program QNW_SC.exe. For instructions on how to use the
program, use the program’s Help system.
Uninstalling the Software
To uninstall the Serial Control Program files, use the “Add/Remove Programs” control panel by selecting
“QNW” from the list.
