1.

Connect the Sharck probe to Reddy: both the 160-pin ECA connector and the 12-pin encoder
connector (I/O).

2.

Turn on Reddy. (Refer to the Reddy user’s guide for details.)

Notes

•

You can connect and disconnect the Sharck probe while the instrument is running.

•

Reddy performs a compatibility check on the probe to verify that the current setup is valid.

3.

In the backstage view, tap
