C.1 Introduction

The PanaView™ graphical user interface offers interactive communications between Windows-based PCs and GE

instruments compatible with the company’s IDM protocol, such as the GF868 ultrasonic gas flowmeter. PanaView is

compatible with 32-bit Windows operating systems such as Windows 98SE, NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 6), 2000, XP

and ME. With PanaView, you can:

• load and save site file data

• create and save graph and log files

• display text output and graphs of live measurement data

• create custom templates for displaying text, graph and log data

• interface with multiple GE instruments.

This document focuses on particular applications suitable for the GF868. For general PanaView applications such as

creating graph and log files, displaying live measurement data, and creating custom templates, please refer to the

general PanaView User’s Manual (910-211).

C.2 Wiring the RS232 Interface

All IDM-protocol instruments utilize an RS232 interface to communicate with a PC. For details on wiring your RS232

interface, please refer to the Installation chapter of your instrument’s User’s Manual, and to the document EIA-RS
