Products Control
Program
The Extron Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP) offers another way to
control the Annotator via RS-232 connection in addition to the SIS commands.
This section describes SPPCP installation, communication, and control. Topics that are
covered, include:
• Installing the Software
• Starting the SPPCP
• Using the SPPCP
The graphical interface of the program includes the same functions as those on the front
panel of the scaler with additional features that are only available through the software.
The control software is compatible with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP. The Signal Processing Products Control Program is included on the Extron
DVD, and updates can be downloaded from the Extron website
(www.extron.com ).
NOTE: The control program requires approximately 32 MB of hard disk space.
Installing the Software
The SPPCP software can be installed onto the hard drive of a connected PC either directly
from the supplied DVD, or downloaded from the Extron website.
Installation From the DVD
1. Insert the DVD into the applicable drive. The DVD self starts.
