1.1 About this program

The L Series Graphical User Interface program - LSGUI - was developed
as a companion product to the California Instrument line of AC power
sources. It's main purpose is to provide a soft front panel to the instrument
when connected to a PC through the IEEE-488 bus interface. Additional
benefits are obtained from using the PC as a control interface. Some of these
benefits include the ability to store measurement data to disk and interact
with other programs.
The LSGUI is a Windows 3.1™ program and as such requires a PC
capable of running Windows 3.1™, Windows 3.11™, Windows for
Workgroups 3.11™ or Windows 95™.
This user manual provides a complete overview of the program's
operation. It also lists details on file formats and other details that may be
needed in order to use this program successfully. Extensive information can
also be found in the on-line help supplied with the program. Use the Help
menu or press on any of the many Help keys located in all program windows
for an explanation of the relevant screen or function.
As always, California Instruments appreciates your patronage and would
welcome any comments and suggestions you might have regarding this
software or any of its other products. Use the customer feedback form
