The I/O Port Settings Command
One can connect serial interface devices, such as balances, thermostats or sample
changers, to the PC's communication port. To get the port configuration dialog, close all
minispec applications, then select
I/O Port from the Setup menu. Note: To get the minispec
main menu, the R&D level or calibration permission must be given. Select the port
parameters according to the settings on the connected device.
The Licenses Command
Some special applications, like the digital pulse attenuation and the pulse shaping need to be
licensed. Use this menu to open the license number input box, which prompts the user to
input the license number. After a successful license procedure, the menu entry is checked
and grayed.
Have ready the minispec instrument's system number (see Status Bar) and contact BRUKER
for information or license numbers.
