GSX SURFACE SETUP APP
Double-click the desktop icon (shown at right) or use the
Start menu to select GSX Surface Setup GUI from the
Wheatstone folder. The GSX Surface Setup app (GSX GUI)
opens the Startup Mode window (Figure 3-29), where one
selects how to use the GSX GUI:
❖ Synch From A GSX Surface – The recommended selection, connects
the GSX GUI to a GSX Surface Host to view, edit, and then update that
GSX console's configuration settings.
❖ Open A Saved Project From Disk – A Find Project window opens
listing existing Projects that can be loaded into the GSX GUI. A Project
is essentially a backup folder, previously saved using the GSX GUI, with
the configuration settings from that GSX. A Project's settings would be
loaded into the GSX GUI so that a
standard configuration could be applied
to a new GSX console; to restore a GSX
to a previous configuration; or to clone
one GSX to apply to other consoles.
❖ Restore GUI State – While using the
GSX GUI, its current state is periodically
backed up to temporary disk space. If
the PC is inadvertently shutdown, or the
GSX GUI is closed without updating the
GSX Surface or saving a Project, this
option loads the last-saved GSX GUI
settings from the temporary disk space
allowing one to start from that point ra-
ther than having to start from scratch.
❖ Set Up A New GSX Surface – This
selection is only recommended for ad-
vanced users who are familiar with
manually configuring GSX and/or LXE
consoles. When this option is selected,
the connected GSX Surface configura-
tion is erased.
Quick Tour of the GSX GUI
Once the startup mode is selected and
the GSX GUI is connected to a GSX
Surface, or a Project is loaded from disk,
the GSX GUI opens showing the Module
Layout Tab. Figure 3-30 identifies the
main features of the GSX GUI.
