7.2.2. DAS CONFIGURATION VIA TERMINAL EMULATION PROGRAMS
Although Teledyne API recommends the use of APICOM, the DAS can also be
accessed and configured through a terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal (see Figure 7-4 for example). It is best to start by downloading
the default DAS configuration, getting fam
iliar with its command structure and
syntax conventions, and then altering a copy of the original file offline before
uploading the new configuration.
Figure 7-4: DAS Configuration Through a Terminal Emulation Program
See Section 8.2.1 for configuration commands and their strict syntax. Commands
can be pasted in from of an existing text file, which was first edited offline and
then uploaded through a specific transfer procedure.
IMPORTANT
IMPACT ON READINGS OR DATA
Whereas the editing, adding and deleting of DAS channels and
parameters of one channel through the front-panel control buttons can
be done without affecting the other channels, uploading a DAS
configuration script to the analyzer through its communication ports will
erase all data, parameters and channels by replacing them with the new
DAS configuration. Backup of data and the original DAS configuration is
advised before attempting any DAS changes.
Refer to Section 8 for details on remote access to and from the T801 analyzer via
the instrument’s COM ports.
