PASO ED1/SD1 for Windows

General

The parameterisation software PASO ED1/SD1 for Windows (the "PASO")serves for the parameterising and diagnosing of digital control cards ED1/SD1 of the Wandfluh AG company. The software provides a user interface, through which by means of a keyboard or a mouse all adjustments and settings can easily be carried out. The communication with the digital control card takes place through a serial RS 232 interface.

The PASO can only be utilised in connection with a digital control card ED1/SD1 of the Wandfluh AG company. It is necessary to carefully study the operating instructions of the connected digital control card beforehand.

An overview, which ED1/SD1 card type can be operated with which PASO version is located in the section version index at the end of this document.

A description of the different PASO versions is located in the file "history.pdf". This file is located in the directory where the PASO will be installed.

System requirements

In order to be able to correctly utilise the PASO, an IBM-compatible PC with the following requirements has to be available:

• Processor 486 or higher, min. 33MHz, min. 8MB RAM
  Recommended: 80586 66MHz or higher, 16 MB RAM or more
• Free harddisk storage space of minimum 4MB, plus storage space for program files
• Operating system MS-WINDOWS 95/98, NT 4.0 or higher
• Standard VGA or higher graphics card, recommended resolution 800 x 600
• At least one serial RS 232 interface
• Notebooks without a serial RS232 interface, need an additional hardware like a PCMCIA-card - RS232 konverter or a USB - RS232 konverter to get the proper RS232 interface
  Note: not all USB - RS232 Konverter works properly, if necessary we assist you with the choice of the right one.
• Serial RS232 cable 1:1 (RxD and TxD not crossed)

Installation

The PASO software can be downloaded via the Internet free of charge (www.wandfluh.com/Download => PASO ED1/SD1 => Download Program files) or on request delivered on an installation-CD.

The installation of the PASO is then carried out by executing the file "setupPasoEd1vxxxx.exe", where "xxxx" means the current version (e.g. setupPasoEd1v3104.exe, see also version index). An installation program takes over the complete installation of PASO. To them, the Windows Installer must be installed. This is normally a part of the Windows Environment. If not, please download it from the Microsoft Website.

If there is already a version of the PASO software installed on the PC, one can select if the existing version should be overwritten or removed.

For all standard cards (Amplifier, Position controller, Pressure/Flow controller and Position controller PLUS), the helpfiles are included in the setup and are installed automatically. For the special cards ED1AE, ED1AF, ED1AG, ED1AP, SD1AY and SD1BA the helpfiles can be downloaded separate via the internet (www.wandfluh.com/Download => PASO ED1/SD1 => Download Helpfiles for Special types).
