GW-21 Configurator is a Windows based software and it shares with the Windows

environment a number of characteristics that makes the program easy to learn and to

use.

The Windows environment for instance has a common interface to access functions,

shortly described below for reference. You can freely jump from an application to an

other while using GW-21 Configurator as long as your computer has memory enough

to manage all the applications contemporarily active.

When GW-21 Configurator is loaded, the screen shown in the figure below appears.

2.2 How to select an option

As any other Windows application, GW-21 Configurator uses thoroughly the mouse.

The cursor is usually arrow-shaped.

To select an option, just point to it with the mouse and click once on the mouse left

button. The software reaction depends on the type of object you selected:

• a drop-down menu opens, listing different options

• a dialog box appears, asking you to make some selections

Some GW-21 Configurator functions require data from the operator. Dialog boxes

have been designed to supply these data in the most efficient and fastest way.

name where the log data should be stored) that you must supply. Using the keyboard,

key in the characters and then confirm by pressing Return.
