3.4.8.3. Connecting to a Multidrop Network

The multidrop option is used with RS-232 and utilizes both com port DB-9 connectors

(RS-232 and COM2) on the rear panel to enable communications of up to eight

analyzers with the host computer over a chain of RS-232 cables. It is subject to the

distance limitations of the RS 232 standard.

The option consists of a small printed circuit assembly, which is seated on the analyzer’s

CPU card (see Figure 3-12). One Option 62 is required for each analyzer along with one

6’ straight-through, DB9 male  DB9 Female cable (P/N WR0000101).

3.5. PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS

Note To prevent dust from getting into the analyzer, it was shipped with small

plugs inserted into each of the pneumatic fittings on the rear panel.

Remove and store the dust plugs for future use, such as storage, moving,

shipping.

CAUTION!

Do not operate this instrument until you’ve removed dust plugs from SAMPLE and EXHAUST

ports on the rear panel!

Table 3-8: Inlet / Outlet Connector Descriptions

REAR PANEL LABEL FUNCTION

SAMPLE Connects the sample gas to the analyzer. When operating the analyzer

without zero span option, this is also the inlet for any calibration gases.

EXHAUST Connects the exhaust of the analyzer with the external vacuum pump.

SPAN On Units with a zero/span valve, this port connects the external calibration gas

to the analyzer.

ZERO AIR On Units with a zero/span valve, this port connects the zero air gas or the zero

air cartridge to the analyzer.

3.5.1. ABOUT ZERO AIR AND CALIBRATION (SPAN) GASES

3.5.1.1. Zero Air

Zero air or zero calibration gas is defined as a gas that is similar in chemical

composition to the measured medium but without the gas to be measured by the

analyzer, in this case NO and NO2. If your analyzer is equipped with an external zero

air scrubber option, it is capable of creating zero air from ambient air.

If your application is not a measurement in ambient air, the zero calibration gas should

be matched to the matrix of the measured medium. Pure nitrogen could be used as a

zero gas for applications where NOX is measured in nitrogen. Special considerations

apply if measuring NOX in a matrix that does not contain oxygen, see Section 8.3.11 for

more information.

3.5.1.2. Calibration (Span) Gas

Calibration (or Span) gas is a gas specifically mixed to match the chemical composition

of the type of gas being measured at near full scale of the desired measurement range.

In this case, NOX, NO and NO2 measurements made with the T200H/M, it is

recommended that you use a span gas with an NO concentration equal to 80% of the

measurement range for your application.

EXAMPLE: If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 500 ppm, an

appropriate span gas concentration would be 400 ppm NOx.

07270B DCN6512

Teledyne API - Model T200H/T200M Operation Manual Getting Started

Even though NO gas in nitrogen could be used as a span gas, the matrix of the balance

gas is different and may cause interference problems or yield incorrect calibrations. The

same applies to gases that contain high concentrations of other compounds (for example,

CO2 or H2O). The span gas should match all concentrations of all gases of the measured

medium as closely as possible.

Cylinders of calibrated NO gas traceable to NIST-standard reference materials

specifications (also referred to as EPA protocol calibration gases) are commercially

available.

Note If a dynamic dilution system such as the Teledyne API Model T700 is used

to dilute high concentration gas standards to low, ambient

concentrations, make sure that the NO concentration of the reference gas

matches the dilution range of the calibrator. Choose an NO gas

concentration that is in the middle of the dilution system’s range.

in-Hg above ambient pressure and ideally should equal ambient

atmospheric pressure.

In applications where the sample gas is received from a pressurized

manifold, a vent must be provided to equalize the sample gas with

ambient atmospheric pressure before it enters the analyzer.

The vented gas must be routed outside the immediate area or shelter

surrounding the instrument.

4. Once the appropriate pneumatic connections have been made, check all pneumatic

fittings for leaks using procedures defined in Section 7.5.1.

Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16 show the internal pneumatic flow of the standard

configuration of the T200H and T200M respectively.

Note Pneumatic Diagrams do not reflect the physical layout of the instrument.

The most significant differences between the T200H and T200M versions in regards to

pneumatic flow are:

 A bypass line leading directly from the particulate filter to the exhaust manifold is

present on the T200H, but not in the T200M.

 The diameter of the critical flow orifice controlling the gas flow into the sample

chamber is smaller and therefore the flow rate of sample gas through the instrument

is lower.

3.5.3.1. Ambient Zero/Ambient Span Valves (OPT 50A)

The Model T200H/M NOx analyzer can be equipped with a zero/span valve option for controlling the flow of

calibration gases generated from external sources. This option contains two solenoid valves located inside the

analyzer that allow the user to switch either zero, span or sample gas to the instrument’s sensor.

The user can control these valves from the front panel keyboard either manually or by activating the instrument’s

CAL or AutoCal features (Section 5.8). The valves may also be opened and closed remotely through the serial

ports (Section 4.11) or through the external, digital control inputs (Section 4.15).

This option also includes a two-stage, external zero air scrubber assembly that removes all NO and NO2 from

the zero air source (ambient air). The scrubber is filled with 50% Purafil Chemisorbant® (for conversion of NO to

NO2) and 50% activated charcoal (for removal of NO2). This assembly also includes a small particle filter to

prevent scrubber particles to enter the analyzer as well as two more rear panel fittings so each gas can enter the

analyzer separately.

Figure 3-19 and Figure 3-20 show the internal, pneumatic layouts with the zero/span valve option installed for a

Model T200H and T200M respectively.

under the DIAG Menu (Section 4.13.2),

 By activating the instrument’s AutoCal feature (Section 5.8),

 Remotely by using the external digital control inputs (Section 4.15.1.2) or Ethernet

option.

 Remotely through the RS-232/485 serial I/O ports (Section 4.11).

All supply lines should be vented outside of the analyzer’s enclosure. In order to

prevent back-diffusion and pressure drop effects, these vent lines should be between 2

and 10 meters in length.

Getting Started Teledyne API - Model T200H/T200M Operation Manual

3.5.3.2. Zero Scrubber/Dual Pressurized Span Valve (OPT 50D)

The zero air scrubber of Option 50D is a cartridge, which is used to produce and supply

zero air to the analyzer’s ZERO inlet port. The cartridge mounts to the outside rear panel

and contains two chemicals: 50% volume of Purafil Chemisorbant to convert NO to

NO2, followed by 50% volume of charcoal to absorb NO2.

The dual pressurized span valves of Option 50D are a special set of valves that allows

two separate NOx mixtures to enter the analyzer from two independent sources.

Typically these two gas mixtures will come from two, separate, pressurized bottles of

certified calibration gas: one mixed to produce a NO, NO2 or NOx concentration equal

to the expected span calibration value for the application and the other mixed to produce

a concentration at or near the midpoint of the intended measurement range. Individual

gas inlets, labeled HIGH SPAN and LOW SPAN are provided at the back on the

analyzer.

The valves allow the user to switch between the two sources via the front panel

touchscreen control buttons or from a remote location by way of either the analyzer’s

digital control inputs or by sending commands over its serial I/O port(s).

Note The analyzer’s software only allows the SLOPE and OFFSET to be

calculated when sample is being routed through the HIGH SPAN inlet.

The LOW SPAN gas is for midpoint reference checks only.

07270B DCN6512

CAUTION!

If the presence of ozone is detected at any time, call Teledyne API Technical Support as soon

as possible:

800-324-5190 or email: sda_techsupport@teledyne.com

If you are unfamiliar with the theory of operation of the T200H/M analyzer, we

recommend that you read Section 8 before proceeding. For information on navigating

the analyzer’s software menus, see the menu trees described in Appendix A.

3.6.1. STARTUP

After the electrical and pneumatic connections are made, an initial functional check is in

order. Turn on the instrument. The pump and exhaust fan should start immediately. The

display will briefly show a logo splash screen at the start of initialization.

The analyzer should automatically switch to Sample Mode after completing the boot-up

sequence and start monitoring NOX, NO, NO2 gases. Allow a one-hour warm-up period.

During the warm-up period, the front panel display may show messages in the

Parameters field, such as WARNING messages.

3.6.2. WARNING MESSAGES

During warm-up, internal temperatures and other parameters may be outside of specified

limits. The software will suppress most warning conditions for 30 minutes after power

up.

SAMPLE HVPS WARNING NOX = 0.0

3.6.3. FUNCTIONAL CHECK

After the analyzer’s components have warmed up for at least 30 minutes, verify that the

software properly supports any hardware options that were installed.

Check to make sure that the analyzer is functioning within allowable operating

parameters. Appendices A and C include a list of test functions viewable from the

analyzer’s front panel as well as their expected values. These functions are also useful

tools for diagnosing performance problems with your analyzer (Section 7). The

enclosed Final Test and Validation Data Sheet (part number 04490) lists these values

before the instrument left the factory. To view the current values of these test functions

3.7. CALIBRATION

An initial calibration and functional check should be conducted upon first-time startup.

Note Once you have completed the followng set-up procedures, please fill out

the quality questionnaire that was shipped with your unit and return it to

Teledyne API.

This information is vital to our efforts in continuously improving our

service and our products. Thank you.

3.7.1. BASIC NOX CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

The initial calibration should be carried out using the same reporting range set up as

used during the analyzer’s factory calibration. This will allow you to compare your

calibration results to the factory calibration as listed on the Final Test and Validation

Data Sheet.

The following procedure assumes that the instrument does not have any of the available

valve options installed. Section 5 contains instructions for calibrating instruments with

these options.

If both available DAS parameters for a specific gas type are being reported via the

instrument’s analog outputs e.g. NXCNC1 and NXCNC2, separate calibrations should

be carried out for each parameter.

 Use the LOW button when calibrating for NXCNC1

 Use the HIGH button when calibrating for NXCNC2.

See Sections 4.13.3 and 4.13.4 for more information on analog output reporting ranges.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To assist in navigating the analyzer’s software, a series of menu trees can be found in

Appendix A of this manual.

Note The flow charts appearing in this section contain typical representations

of the analyzer’s display during the various operations being described.

These representations may differ slightly from the actual display of your

instrument.

The ENTR button may disappear if you select a setting that is invalid or

out of the allowable range for that parameter, such as trying to set the 24-

hour clock to 25:00:00. Once you adjust the setting to an allowable value,

the ENTR button will re-appear.

4.1. OVERVIEW OF OPERATING MODES

The T200H/M software has a variety of operating modes. Most commonly, the analyzer

will be operating in SAMPLE mode. In this mode, a continuous read-out of the NO,

NO2 and NOx concentrations are displayed on the front panel and are available to be

output as analog signals from the analyzer’s rear panel terminals. Also, calibrations can

be performed, and TEST functions and WARNING messages can be examined.

The second most important operating mode is SETUP mode. This mode is used for

performing certain configuration operations, such as for the DAS system, configuring

the reporting ranges, or the serial (RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet) communication channels.

The SET UP mode is also used for performing various diagnostic tests during

troubleshooting.

4.3. CALIBRATION MODE

4.3.1. CALIBRATION FUNCTIONS

Pressing the CAL key switches the T200H/M into calibration mode. In this mode, the

user can calibrate the instrument with the use of calibrated zero or span gases.

If the instrument includes the zero/span valve option, the display will also include

CALZ and CALS buttons. Pressing either of these buttons also puts the instrument into

multipoint calibration mode.

 The CALZ button is used to initiate a calibration of the zero point.

 The CALS button is used to calibrate the span point of the analyzer. It is

recommended that this span calibration is performed at 90% of full scale of the

analyzer’s currently selected reporting range.

Because of their critical importance and complexity, calibration operations are described

in detail in Section 5.

4.4. SETUP MODE

The SETUP mode contains a variety of choices that are used to configure the analyzer’s

hardware and software features, perform diagnostic procedures, gather information on

the instruments performance and configure or access data from the internal data

acquisition system (DAS). The areas access under the Setup mode are:

Operating Instructions Teledyne API - Model T200H/T200M Operation Manual

4.7. SETUP  DAS - USING THE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

(DAS)

The T200H/M analyzer contains a flexible and powerful, internal data acquisition

system (DAS) that enables the analyzer to store concentration and calibration data as

well as a host of diagnostic parameters. The data points can cover days, weeks or

months of valuable measurements, depending on how the DAS is configured. The data

are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even when the instrument is powered

off. Data are stored in plain text format for easy retrieval and use in common data

analysis programs (such as spreadsheet-type programs).

Note Please be aware that all stored data will be erased if the analyzer’s disk-

on-module, CPU board or configuration is replaced/reset.

The DAS is designed to be flexible. Users have full control over the type, length and

reporting time of the data. The DAS permits users to access stored data through the

instrument’s front panel or its communication ports. Teledyne API also offers

APICOM, a program that provides a visual interface for configuration and data retrieval

of the DAS or using a remote computer. Additionally, the analyzer’s four analog output

channels can be programmed to carry data related to any of the available DAS

parameters.

The principal use of the DAS is logging data for trend analysis and predictive

diagnostics, which can assist in identifying possible problems before they affect the

functionality of the analyzer. The secondary use is for data analysis, documentation and

archival in electronic format.

DAS STATUS

The green SAMPLE LED on the instrument front panel, which indicates the analyzer

status, also indicates certain aspects of the DAS status:

Table 4-6: Front Panel LED Status Indicators for DAS

LED STATE DAS STATUS

Off

System is in calibration mode. Data logging can be enabled or disabled for this mode.

Calibration data are typically stored at the end of calibration periods, concentration data

are typically not sampled, diagnostic data should be collected.

Blinking

Instrument is in hold-off mode, a short period after the system exits calibrations. DAS

channels can be enabled or disabled for this period. Concentration data are typically

disabled whereas diagnostic should be collected.

On Sampling normally.

The DAS can be disabled only by disabling or deleting its individual data channels.

07270B DCN6512

Teledyne API - Model T200H/T200M Operation Manual Operating Instructions

4.7.1. DAS STRUCTURE

The DAS is designed around the feature of a “record”, an automatically stored single

data point. (e.g. concentration, PMT signal level, etc.). Records are organized into data

channels which are defined by properties that characterize the:

 Type of date recorded (e.g. concentration, PMT signal level, etc.);

 Trigger event that causes the record to be made (e.g. every minute, upon exiting

calibration mode, etc.);

 How many records to be stored, as well as;

 How the information is to be stored (e.g. average over 1 hour, individual points,

minimum value over last 5 minutes, etc.).

The configuration of each DAS channel is stored in the analyzer’s memory as a script,

which can be edited from the front panel or downloaded, edited and uploaded to the

instrument in form of a string of plain-text lines through the communication ports.

4.7.1.1. DAS Channels

The key to the flexibility of the DAS is its ability to store a large number of

combinations of triggering events and data parameters in the form of data channels.

Users may create up to 20 data channels. For each channel one triggering event is

selected and one or all of the T200H/M’s 25 data parameters are allowed. The number

of parameters and channels is limited by available memory.

The properties that define the structure of an DAS data channel are:

Operating Instructions Teledyne API - Model T200H/T200M Operation Manual

4.7.1.2. DAS Parameters

Data parameters are types of data that may be measured by the analyzers instrumentality

concentrations of measured gases, temperatures of heated zones,, pressures and flows of

the pneumatic subsystem as well as calibration data such as slope and offset for each

gas. For each Teledyne API analyzer model, the list of available data parameters is

different, fully defined and not customizable (see Appendix A for a list of T200H/M

parameters).

Most data parameters have associated measurement units, such as mV, ppm, cm³/min,

etc., although some parameters have no units. The only units that can be changed are

those of the concentration readings according to the SETUP-RANGE settings.

Note The DAS does not keep track of the unit of each concentration value and

DAS data files may contain concentrations in multiple units if the unit was

changed during data acquisition.

Each data parameter has user-configurable functions that define how the data are

recorded.

SAMPLE MODE INST: Records instantaneous reading.

AVG: Records average reading during reporting interval.

MIN: Records minimum (instantaneous) reading during reporting interval.

MAX: Records maximum (instantaneous) reading during reporting interval.

interval.

PRECISION Decimal precision of parameter value(0-4).

STORE NUM.

SAMPLES

OFF: stores only the average (default).

ON: stores the average and the number of samples in each average for a parameter.

This property is only useful when the AVG sample mode is used. Note that the

number of samples is the same for all parameters in one channel and needs to be

specified only for one of the parameters.

4.7.1.3. DAS Triggering Events

Triggering events define when and how the DAS records a measurement of any given

data channel. Triggering events are firmware-specific and are listed in Appendix A-5.

The most common triggering events are:

 ATIMER: Sampling occurs at regular intervals specified by an automatic timer.

Trending information is often stored via such intervals, as either individual datum or

averaged.

 EXITZR, EXITSP, SLPCHG (exit zero, exit span, slope change): Sampling at the

end of an irregularly occurring event such as calibration or when the slope changes.

These events create individual data points. Zero and slope values can be used to

monitor response drift and to document when the instrument was calibrated.

07270B DCN6512

Teledyne API - Model T200H/T200M Operation Manual Operating Instructions

 WARNINGS: Some data may be useful when stored if one of several warning

messages appears. This is helpful for trouble-shooting by monitoring when a

particular warning occurred.

4.7.2. DEFAULT DAS CHANNELS

The T200H/M is configured with a basic DAS configuration, which is enabled by

default. New data channels are also enabled by default but each channel may be turned

off for later or occasional use. Note that DAS operation is suspended while its

configuration is edited through the front panel. To prevent such data loss, it is

recommended to use the APICOM graphical user interface for DAS changes.

A set of default data channels has been included in the analyzer’s software for logging

nitrogen oxides concentrations, calibration and predictive diagnostic data. They are:

 CONC: Samples NOX, NO and NO2 concentration at one minute intervals and

stores an average every hour with a time and date stamp along with the number of

(1-minute) samples within each average(for statistical evaluation). Readings during

calibration and calibration hold off are not included in the data. By default, the last

800 hourly averages are stored.

 CALDAT: Every time a zero or span calibration is performed CALDAT logs

concentration, slope and offset values for NOX and NO with a time and date stamp.

The NOX stability (to evaluate calibration stability) as well as the converter

efficiency (for reference) are also stored. This data channel will store data from the

last 200 calibrations and can be used to document analyzer calibration. The slope

and offset data can be used to detect trends in (instrument response.

 CALCHECK: This channel logs concentrations and the stability each time a zero or

span check (not calibration) is finished. This allows the user to track the quality of

zero and span responses over time and assist in evaluating the quality of zero and

span gases and the analyzer’s noise specifications. The last 200 data points are

retained.

 DIAG: Daily averages of temperature zones, flow and pressure data as well as

some other diagnostic parameters (HVPS, AZERO). These data are useful for

predictive diagnostics and maintenance of the T200H/M. The last 1100 daily

averages are stored to cover more than four years of analyzer performance.

 HIRES: Records one minute, instantaneous data of all active parameters in the

T200H/M. Short-term trends as well as signal noise levels can be detected and

documented. Readings during calibration and the calibration hold off period are

included in the averages. The last 1500 data points are stored, which covers a little

more than one day of continuous data acquisition. This data channel is disabled by

default but may be turned on when needed such as for trouble-shooting problems

with the analyzer.

The default data channels can be used as they are, or they can be customized from the

front panel or through APICOM to fit a specific application. The Teledyne API website

contains this default and other sample DAS scripts for free download. We recommend

that the user backs up any DAS configuration and its data before altering it.

Note Teledyne-API recommends downloading and storing existing data and the

DAS configurations regularly for permanent documentation and future

data analysis. Sending a DAS configuration to the analyzer through its

COM ports will replace the existing configuration and will delete all stored

data.

4.7.2.4. Editing DAS Parameters

Data channels can be edited individually from the front panel without affecting other

data channels. However, when editing a data channel, such as during adding, deleting or

editing parameters, all data for that particular channel will be lost, because the DAS can

store only data of one format (number of parameter columns etc.) for any given channel.

In addition, an DAS configuration can only be uploaded remotely as an entire set of

channels. Hence, remote update of the DAS will always delete all current channels and

stored data.

To modify, add or delete a parameter, follow the instruction shown in section 4.7.2.2

4.7.2.5. Sample Period and Report Period

The DAS defines two principal time periods by which sample readings are taken and

permanently recorded:

 SAMPLE PERIOD: Determines how often DAS temporarily records a sample

reading of the parameter in volatile memory. The SAMPLE PERIOD is set to one

minute by default and generally cannot be accessed from the standard DAS front

panel menu, but is available via the instruments communication ports by using

APICOM or the analyzer’s standard serial data protocol.

SAMPLE PERIOD is only used when the DAS parameter’s sample mode is set for

AVG, MIN or MAX.

 REPORT PERIOD: Sets how often the sample readings stored in volatile memory

are processed, (e.g. average, minimum or maximum are calculated) and the results

stored permanently in the instrument’s Disk-on-Module as well as transmitted via

the analyzer’s communication ports. The REPORT PERIOD may be set from the

front panel.

If the INST sample mode is selected the instrument stores and reports an instantaneous

reading of the selected parameter at the end of the chosen REPORT PERIOD

In AVG, MIN or MAX sample modes, the settings for the SAMPLE PERIOD and the

REPORT PERIOD determine the number of data points used each time the average,

minimum or maximum is calculated, stored and reported to the com ports. The actual

sample readings are not stored past the end of the of the chosen REPORT PERIOD.

Also, the SAMPLE PERIOD and REPORT PERIOD intervals are synchronized to

the beginning and end of the appropriate interval of the instruments internal clock.

 If SAMPLE PERIOD were set for one minute the first reading would occur at the

beginning of the next full minute according to the instrument’s internal clock.

 If the REPORT PERIOD were set for of one hour the first report activity would occur

at the beginning of the next full hour according to the instrument’s internal clock.

EXAMPLE: Given the above settings, if DAS were activated at 7:57:35 the first sample

would occur at 7:58 and the first report would be calculated at 8:00 consisting of data

points for 7:58. 7:59 and 8:00.

During the next hour (from 8:01 to 9:00) the instrument will take a sample reading every

minute and include 60 sample readings.

When the STORE NUM. SAMPLES feature is turned on the instrument will also store

how many sample readings were used for the AVG, MIN or MAX calculation but not

the readings themselves.

4.7.2.6. Report Periods in Progress when Instrument Is Powered Off

If the instrument is powered off in the middle of a REPORT PERIOD, the samples

accumulated so far during that period are lost. Once the instrument is turned back on,

the DAS restarts taking samples and temporarily them in volatile memory as part of the

REPORT PERIOD currently active at the time of restart. At the end of this REPORT

PERIOD only the sample readings taken since the instrument was turned back on will

be included in any AVG, MIN or MAX calculation. Also, the STORE NUM.

SAMPLES feature will report the number of sample readings taken since the instrument

was restarted.

4.7.2.7. Number of Records

The DAS is capable of capturing several months worth of data, depending on the

configuration. Every additional data channel, parameter, number of samples setting etc.

will reduce the maximum amount of data points somewhat. In general, however, the

maximum data capacity is divided amongst all channels (max: 20) and parameters (max:

50 per channel).

The DAS will check the amount of available data space and prevent the user from

specifying too many records at any given point. If, for example, the DAS memory space

can accommodate 375 more data records, the ENTR key will disappear when trying to

specify more than that number of records. This check for memory space may also make

an upload of an DAS configuration with APICOM or a Terminal program fail, if the

combined number of records would be exceeded. In this case, it is suggested to either

try from the front panel what the maximum number of records can be or use trial-and-

error in designing the DAS script or calculate the number of records using the DAS or

APICOM manuals. To set the number of records for one channel from the front panel,

follow the instruction shown in section 4.7.2.2 then press.

When enabled, this option avoids unnecessary line breaks on all RS-232 reports. Instead

of reporting each parameter in one channel on a separate line, up to five parameters are

reported in one line, instead. For example, channel DIAG would report its record in two

lines (10 parameters) instead of 10 lines. Individual lines carry the same time stamp and

are labeled in sequence.

4.7.2.10. Starting Date

This option allows to specify a starting date for any given channel in case the user wants

to start data acquisition only after a certain time and date. If the Starting Date is in the

past, the DAS ignores this setting.

4.7.3. REMOTE DAS CONFIGURATION

Editing channels, parameters and triggering events as described in 6.7 is much more

conveniently done in one step through the APICOM remote control program using the

graphical interface shown in Figure 4-4. Refer to Section 4.15 for details on remote

access to the T200H/M analyzer.

Figure 4-4: APICOM Graphical User Interface for Configuring the DAS

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 is

included in the APICOM installation file, which can be downloaded at

http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/.

Note Whereas the editing, adding and deleting of DAS channels and

parameters of one channel through the front-panel touch screen 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. It is advised to download and backup all data and the

original DAS configuration before attempting any DAS changes.
