Control Software for Windows
The included RGB 201/203/580 Control Program, graphical
control software for Windows, offers another way to control the
interface. The control software is compatible with Windows 3.1,
3.11, 95/98, and above.
Installing the software
The control program is contained on a 3.5-inch diskette, and it
can run from the floppy drive. However, it is more convenient
to run the program from the hard drive.
To install the software onto the hard drive, run
SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk, and follow the
instructions that appear on the screen. The
program requires approximately 1 MB
(megabyte) of hard disk space.
By default the installation creates a C:\RGB201 directory, and it
places two icons (RGB 201 Control Pgm and RGB 201 Help) into
a group or folder named "Extron Electronics".
Using the software
To run the control program, follow these steps:

Extron Electronics group or folder, or on the Rgb201.exe
icon in the C:\RGB201 directory. The Comm menu
appears on the screen.
2.
Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface's
RS-232 port. The control software checks for the interface
at that port and reads its configuration.

displays current settings.

For information about program features, you can access the help
program in any of the following ways:
•
From the Extron Electronics program group, double-click
on the RGB 201 Help icon.
•
From within the Windows-based RGB 201/203/580
Control Program, click on the Help entry on the task bar.
•
From within the Windows-based switcher control
program, press the F1 key.
The rear panel Remote connector also provides a way to select
an input to the interface using a remote contact closure device.
Contact closure control uses pins on the Remote connector that
are not used by the RS-232 interface. The contact closure pin
assignments are shown in the table on page 3-2.
To select a different input number using a contact closure
device, momentarily short the pin for the desired input number
to logic ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be always
selected, leave the short to logic ground in place. The short
overrides front panel input selections.
