Wi-Fi Direct Connection
Before you can connect through the PEL Control Panel, you must create a Wi-Fi connection between
the computer and instrument in Microsoft Windows. A direct Wi-Fi connection requires the instru-
ment’s SSID number and (if required) password, which you can define by connecting the instrument
via USB cable, opening the Control Panel, and displaying the Configure dialog box, as instructed
by the Control Panel Help. The Configure dialog box includes fields for setting Wi-Fi connection
options.
In addition, Wi-Fi must be enabled on the instrument to use this feature. Check the Wi-Fi
LED.
If it is glowing steadily or blinking, Wi-Fi is enabled. If it is OFF, press
and hold it down until
the
LED lights up. Then release the button to enable Wi-Fi. Your computer must also be Wi-
Fi-enabled.
When you have completed these tasks, open the PEL Control Panel and proceed as follows:
1.
In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Instrument.
2.
In the drop-down menu that appears, click the option Add an Instrument.
3.
Select Wi-Fi direct as the connection type, and complete the Add and Instrument dialog. If you
need assistance, press the Help button.
Point-to-Point Ethernet Cable
To connect via point-to-point Ethernet, your computer must be equipped with an available Ethernet
port. You must also have an Ethernet cable (purchased separately).

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the instrument, and the other end into the Ethernet port
on the computer.
2.
With the instrument connected, open the PEL Control Panel.
3.
In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Instrument.
4.
In the drop-down menu that appears, click the option Add an Instrument. This opens the Add
an Instrument Wizard dialog box.

Add and Instrument dialog. If you need assistance, press the Help button.
Ethernet Network via LAN or Wi-Fi

puter. The network connection can be either via LAN or Wi-Fi router. Consult your network admin-

first connect the instrument to a network that can access the internet. Consult your network admin-
istrator if you need assistance with this. When this connection is established, open the PEL Control
Panel and do the following:
