SECTION SEVEN: GRQ2 REMOTE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

You may connect and control up to eight Graphi-Q2s from one COM port. If your computer offers two

COM ports, you may set up two distinct Graphi-Q2 networks of up to eight units each—one for each port.

Simply connect units in series from the SERIAL OUT jack of the previous unit to the SERIAL IN jack of

the next in line. There is no need to complete a connection loop from the last unit in the chain, back to

the computer.

Note that with many Graphi-Q2s in line, the last units in the chain may respond more slowly, depending

on how “busy” the processors of your units are (for example, FBX processing is computation-intensive).

Also, commands from the computer controller may sometimes be executed faster than the update of

the screen that displays the parameters; in other words, the report of the execution of the command may

lag behind its actual completion. This time delay is an inherent limit of RS-232 serial connection speed.

7.3. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

Follow these simple instructions for installing the Sabine Remote Control Software for the Graphi-Q2:

1. Start Windows 95 or higher.

2. Insert the GRQ-Remote CD into your CD ROM drive.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen. The software will install on your computer.

NOTE: it is recommended that you allow the installer to place the Graphi-Q2 software in the

default folder location.

4. You now have a Program group window called GRQ Remote and an icon called

GRQ Remote.

NOTE: for updating software or re-flashing firmware, see section 8.10. Upgrading Graphi-Q2 Firmware

and Software.

TECH TIP

PC can’t find

Graphi-Q2...

Try these tips if you are

having difficulty con-

necting your Graphi-Q2

unit(s) to a Windows

PC.

1. Software Version. Make sure the software version installed in your computer is compatible with the

firmware version of your Graphi-Q2.

2. Check cable. You want a serial 9-pin, not a null modem.

3. COM Port. Make sure the COM Port selected is correct.

4. Refresh your COM Ports.

In Windows, click Start and select Settings, Control Panel.

Double click System.

Click on Hardware, Device Manager and open up Ports (COM & LPT).

Right click the COM Port for your Graphi-Q2 and select Remove (or Uninstall).

Your computer will verify your intent and then reboot. As it reboots, it will rebuild your COM Port file.

This will clean out previous settings for devices no longer attached to your computer and may allow

the Graphi-Q2 software to locate your unit(s).

NOTE:

COM Port Properties, Port Settings (Bits per second, Data bits, Parity, Stop bits & Flow control) are

controlled by the Graphi-Q2 Software and need not be adjusted.
