7.1.7.2. iDAS Configuration Using Terminal Emulation Programs

through a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal (see example in Figure 7-3).
To do this:
through a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal (see example in Figure 7-3).

iDAS Configuration Through a Terminal Emulation Program
Both of the above steps are best started by:
1. Downloading
the

3. Altering a copy of the original file offline.
4. Uploading the new configuration into the analyzer.
NOTE
The editing, adding and deleting of iDAS channels and parameters of one channel through the front-
panel keyboard can be done without affecting the other channels.
On the other hand, uploading an iDAS configuration script to the analyzer through its communication
ports will ERASE ALL DATA, PARAMETERS AND CHANNELS and replace them with the new iDAS
configuration.
It is recommended that you download and backup all data and the original iDAS configuration before
attempting any iDAS changes.
