8. REMOTE OPERATION
This section provides information needed when using external digital and serial
I/O for remote operation. It assumes that the electrical connections have been
made as described in Section 3.3.1.
Your analyzer can be re
motely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data
through the serial ports, via either Computer mode (using a personal computer)
or Interactive mode (using a terminal emulation program).
8.1. COMPUTER MODE
Computer Mode is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer with a
dedicated interface program such as APICOM.
8.1.1. REMOTE CONTROL VIA APICOM
APICOM is an easy-to-use, yet powerful interface program that allows the user to
access and control any of Teledyne API’s main line of ambient and stack-gas
instruments from a remote connection through direct cable, modem or Ethernet.
Running APICOM, a user can:
Establish a link from a remote location to the T801 through direct cable
connection via RS-232 modem or Ethernet.
View the instrument’s front panel and remotely access all functions that could
be accessed when standing in front of the instrument.
Remotely edit system parameters and set points.
Download, view, graph and save data for predictive diagnostics or data
analysis.
Check on system parameters for trouble-shooting and quality control.
APICOM is very helpful for initial setup, data analysis, maintenance, and
troubleshooting. Figure 7-2 shows examples of APICOM’s main interface,
which emulates the look and functional
ity of the instrument’s actual front panel.
APICOM is included free of cost with the analyzer and the latest versions can
also be downloaded at http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/
