6. 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 Section3.3.1
The T700 can be remo
tely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data th through
the rear panel serial ports, via either Computer mode (using a personal computer with a
dedicated interface program) or Interactive mode (using a terminal emulation
program).
6.1. COMPUTER MODE
Computer mode is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer with a dedicated
interface program such as APICOM.
6.1.1. 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 T700 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 trouble-
shooting. Figure 6-1 shows an example of APICOM’s main interface, which emulates
the look
and functionality of the instrument’s actual front panel. Refer to the APICOM
manual available for download from http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/.
