Sensor Communication
Once power has been applied to the sensor, it is functional. If the hardware drivers have been installed,
communication can be established using the MIP Monitor software interface.
1. Verify the sensor device status indicator is on.
2. Open the MIP Monitor software.
3. The sensor should appear in the device list automatically when the software is running.
The list includes the device information and communication port assignment. If the
sensor is not automatically discovered, use the refresh button.
