6.7.3. Remote DAS Configuration 
Editing channels, parameters and triggering events as described in this can be performed via the 
APICOM remote control program using the graphic interface shown in Figure 6-5.  Refer to Section 6.15 
for details on remote access to the GFC 7000TA analyzer.

APICOM User Interface for DAS Configuration 
Once a DAS configuration is edited (which can be done offline and without interrupting DAS data 
collection), it is conveniently uploaded to the instrument and can be stored on a computer for later review, 
alteration or documentation and archival.  Refer to the APICOM manual for details on these procedures.  
The APICOM user manual (Teledyne Instruments part number 039450000) is included in the APICOM 
installation file, which can be downloaded at http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/. It is 
recommended that you start by downloading the default DAS configuration, getting familiar with its 
command structure and syntax conventions, and then altering a copy of the original file offline before 
uploading the new configuration. 
CAUTION 
Whereas the editing, adding and deleting of DAS channels and parameters of one 
channel through the front-panel touchscreen can be done without affecting the 
other channels, uploading an 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.
