Control Software for Windows
The VSC and DDS Control Program (Extron part number (29-038-01),
which is used by the DDS 100, is compatible with Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95/
98, and above. It provides remote control of scaler settings.
Installing the Software
The program is contained on a single 3.5-inch diskette, and it can run
from the floppy drive. However, it is usually more convenient to load
and run the program from the hard drive.
To install the software from the floppy disk onto the hard drive, run
SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk, and follow the instructions that appear
on the screen. The program occupies approximately 1 MB (megabyte) of
hard-drive space.
By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\VSC200 directory, and
it places two icons (VSC + DDS Control Pgm and VSC + DDS Help) into
a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.
Using the Software
1. To run the VSC and DDS Control Program, double-click on the
VSC + DDS Control Pgm icon in the Extron Electronics
group or folder.
The Comm menu appears on the screen.
2. Click on the comm port that is connected to the DDS 100 RS-232 port.
The Extron VSC and DDS Control Program window appears. It
displays the current settings and the detected input scan rate.
