4.2 PC Software

Upon execution of the DLP LightCrafter DLPC900 GUI application, the panel shown in Figure 4-1 is displayed. The GUI panel contains the following three sections:

  • System common controls and status on the left.
  • System feature controls buttons on the top.
  • Feature control panels in the center.

In any of the GUI sections, clicking a Get button reads the current settings of that particular subsection. Clicking the Set button programs the settings into the respective subsection. Note that some commands can require additional steps before the GUI display is updated.

Note: The GUI looks best when scaling is set to 100%. If the text in the GUI does not display correctly, then change the DPI settings. Right click on the executable and select Properties. On the Compatibility tab select the Change high DPI settings button. Change your settings as shown in High DPI Settings.
