Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 and Figure 2 on page 6. If this is the
initial time running the program, select “Connect” in the lower
center, or “File -> Connect” to scan the first 5 addresses used for
amplifiers. All baud rates will be tested for these amplifiers. If
you want to test ALL possible RS485 addresses, select “File ->
