Appendix B
Computer Control
PowerWave can be controlled either
from the reader's front panel or by using a serial cable connecting
the reader and a computer's serial port. This section describes the
features of computer control, and explains how to program
the computer to control the reader.
Overview
PowerWave can be controlled by computer. Some of the reader’s
functions can be externally controlled by either a Bio-Tek software
package, or a custom-programmed software package. Readings higher
than 4.000 OD may be transmitted, under computer control. For spectrum
scanning and multiple wavelength readings, PowerWave must be
controlled through KC4.
The RS-232 Port
At baud rates of 1200, 2400, and 9600, PowerWave is capable of sending
and receiving data through its serial port (RS-232C).
Controlling the Reader with Bio-Tek Software
PowerWave can be controlled for endpoint or kinetic, single-, or dual-
wavelength readings using Bio-Tek’s KCJR, KCII, KC3 or KC4 for
Windows, or DeltaSoft3
TM
for Macintosh software.
• Power up both machines.
• Το control the reader with KCJR or KCII, use a null modem serial
cable, Bio-Tek part number 75053, to connect the reader to the
IBM-compatible PC.
• Follow the setup instructions in the KCJR or KCII Operations
Manual for Model EL312.
