8.3 Instructions
1. Establishing Online Communications: Lets begin by verifying that we have established
communications to one or more instruments. First, we will run the Super32 application to
check our networks and identify any controllers that are linked to those networks. Our lab
setup should have one network and one controller connected to that network. If the
controller is present on the network, then we have communications with the controller.
Super 32 also provides communications statictics for each network and each controller.
We can begin an online MicroTools session by double clicking on the controller icon in
Super32.
• Select Programs from the Windows Start menu. Select MicroMod Automation
from the list of program folders, select Micro-DCI Communications Services
from the sub folder list and select the Super32 application from the application
list.

Menu
• The Super32 application will launch as shown in the figure below: The application
main window display is the Tree View. The Tree View has two sub window areas,
a left half and a right half window. The Micro-DCI Communication Network is
displayed on the left side. The tree architecture will include the PC’s Network
Ethernet Domain name or Workgroup name (CPM), the name of the PC, the name
of the Micro-DCI server name (udci00) and a list of all the communication
networks configured within the Micro-DCI server (SERIAL1). By expanding the
communication network tree, all Micro-DCI controllers connected to the
communications port will also be displayed.
• The various levels of the tree can be viewed by clicking on the + sign to the
immediate left of each level.
