2.6 Monitoring the MCPS2000 operation
The MCPS2000 Amplifier Management Module (AMM) has a front panel RS-232
status port. This port can be used to monitor the operation and status of the
MCPS2000 using a laptop computer or VT-100 compatible ASCII terminal.
There are two monitoring options.
• A LabView-based GUI, which can run on Windows95, 98, or NT4.0-based
laptop computers
• A VT-100 compatible status display, which can also be used with a laptop
computer running a terminal emulation program such as the Windows Terminal
accessory.
Documentation of these interfaces is included in the software distribution.
