SGD 28-M PanelPilot Compatible Smart Graphics Display FEATURES • 2.8” colour TFT screen • Use PanelPilot software, to setup and customise the display. Compatible with Windows XP, 2000, Vista and 7 • Multiple voltmeter configurations included free • Option to download other types of meter from the PanelPilot subscription service • Programmable via the USB interface • Simple panel mounting solution • Wide operating voltage of 4V – 30V d.c. • Measures voltage from 0 – 40V d.c. The SGD 28 PanelPilot Compatible graphics display with a 320 x 240 pixel (QVGA) colour display and USB programming interface. Using the PanelPilot software (available for Windows XP, 2000, Vista and 7), users are able to choose from an ever-increasing number of configurations (six voltmeters at launch) which can then be customised to their needs. The additional voltmeter types and other functions are available using an annual subscription based service through www.PanelPilot.com. Colours, text labels, splash screen and input voltage scaling can all be customised by the user through the software and then uploaded to the SGD 28-M through the USB connection. Panel or enclosure installation of the display is simple, using a panel fixing clip to mount the display, and 4 screw terminals to connect the inputs.

SGD 28-M PanelPilot Compatible Smart Graphics Display Display The display is a 2.8” TFT panel, with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a 16-bit color depth. Any graphics that are uploaded to the meter are automatically converted to this specification. A resistive touchscreen is fitted, for use with supporting applications. Clean the screen with a damp, soft, lint free cloth. Panel Mounting The SGD 28-M can be fitted into panels 1mm - 3mm deep. A silicone seal is included to improve fitting on thin panels. The minimum panel thickness is increased to 2mm if the seal is not fitted. Panel cut-out is 87mm x 54.5mm. NOTE: The display is NOT protected against moisture or dust. Advanced Connector The DIL IDC socket provides an alternative connection method to the screw-teminals (V+, 0V, IN1 and IN2 are duplicated). It also includes provision for future expansion using data buses (SPI and I2C) and alarm ouputs. Some expansion options may require an additional interface board - Visit www.panelpilot.com for information on which features are currently supported.

SGD 28-M PanelPilot Compatible Smart Graphics Display PANELPILOT SOFTWARE Lascar’s PanelPilot software is available for download free of charge from www.PanelPilot.com. Easy to install and use, the control software runs under Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7. The software is used to setup the appearance and operation of the meter and then upload these settings to the meter. Multiple types of voltmeter are supplied with the software. Additional voltmeters and functions will be made available using an annual sub- scription based service through www.PanelPilot.com. See the website for details of available meters. The software allows the following parameters to be configured: • Meter type • Text labels (including units and graph labels) • Background, graph segment and text colors • Input scaling / calibration (at two points) • Decimal points (entered during scaling) • Splashscreen image selection (to display a user image, such as a logo, when the meter is powered up) VARIOUS OPERATING MODES IN1 0 - 40V 0V 0V Measuring a voltage source Module House Whiteparish, Salisbury Wiltshire ...
