You will be prompted to change the disk at various stages but apart from this the procedure is very similar
to that detailed in section 3.2.1.
3.2.4 Installing PanCom software from 3.5" disks
This is again very similar to the above installation of Windmill from 3.5" disks.
Instead of copying the DISK folders contained in the windmill folder, simply follow the above instructions
using the DISK folders contained in the PanCom Directory.
3.3 Viewing Datasheets, Manuals and Photos.
The datasheets and manuals are stored in the 'datasheet' and 'manual' folders respectively.
The files are stored in PDF format and will require the use of Acrobat Reader which, if not already installed
on your machine, can be downloaded free of charge from the following web site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
You are free to reproduce and distribute both the datasheets and the manuals.
Also included on the CD are photos of EDA products, these are intended for use by sales teams. The pho-
tos come in two formats *.jpg and *.tif. The *.jpg are a low resolution and hence smaller file size version of
the higher quality *.tif files.
Any brochures being made using the enclosed photos should be made using the *.tif files which are a
standard publishing file type.
4.0 To Run the Software
Once the software has been successfully installed there are three main ways to start the software as de-
tailed below.
4.1 Running the Software from the Task Bar
By default whenever the software is installed it will appear as an icon in the programs section of the start
task bar.
To run the software from this location click ‘start’ in the bottom task bar, click on ‘programs’ and then click
on either the ‘Windmill’ or ‘PanCom’ icons.
4.2 Running the Software from Windows Explorer
Open windows explorer, open the directory where the file was installed.
(Our suggested default installation location is c:\EDA)
Double click on either the ‘Windmill’ or ‘PanCom’ icon.
4.1 Running the Software from the Desktop
If your system has been set-up with a short cut on the desktop simply double click the ‘Windmill’ or
‘PanCom’ icon on your desktop.
5.0 Using Windmill Software
5.1 Defining a new system.
In order to create a new system click on the ‘create new’ button. The screen will display blank panel and
device information as shown in figure 5.2. To change the settings go to section 5.4
5.2 Loading from an earlier system stored on a disk
To load data from a previous system saved on disk click on the ‘Load from disk’ button.
A screen allowing you to select a file from the disk as shown in figure 5.1 is displayed.
To change the directory click on the appropriate buttons until the correct directory appears. To select the
desired file double click on the file name. Data will load and a screen similar to Figure 5.2 will be displayed.
To change settings proceed to section 5.4
Figure 5.1
5.3 Loading a system from the control panel.
Connect the front panel port of the control panel to the PC and click on ‘Load from panel’ button. A
progress bar will be displayed as the data is loaded. If this fails try pressing the internal reset button on the
processor board of the control panel and re-click the ‘load from panel’ button.
Care should be taken to establish that the cause and effects are the same for the system in all panels as
individual panels may operate different relays in an alarm or fault condition.
This option is not available for the module port at present.
