3. Remote control operation

Opsens FOTS100 signal conditioner uses serial communication to allow control with a

remote computer.
The user can create its own remote control software using the various SCPI commands

available for the FOTS100. But for ease of operation, Opsens provides its own control

software, called SoftSens, which gives access to all the functionalities of the FOTS100

conditioner. See SoftSens user manual for how to remotely control the FOTS100

conditioner.
For those who which to develop their own remote control software, ask for Opsens SCPI

Serial communication user manual to get all the information about serial interfacing with

the FOTS100 signal conditioner.
