5.2 WinX System On/Off Sequences
The following on/off sequences are specific to WinX and the Ethernet interface:
1. The PI-MAX4 power supply must be turned on before the WinX application software
(WinView/32 or WinSpec/32) is opened to ensure communication between the
controller and the computer. If the WinX application is opened and the PI-MAX4 power
supply is off, many of the functions will be disabled and you will only be able to
retrieve and examine previously acquired and stored data. You must close the WinX
application software, turn on the power supply, and reopen the WinX application
software before you can set up experiments and acquire new data.
2. The WinX application software must be closed before turning off the power supply. If
you turn off the power supply before closing the WinX application software, the
communication link with the PI-MAX4 will be broken. You can operate the program in
a playback mode (i.e., examine previously acquired data,) but will be unable to acquire
new data until you have closed the WinX application software, turned on the power
supply, and then reopened the WinX application software.
