792 Basic IC

2.5.3 Basic

settings

When the program is started for the first time several basic settings

must be made for the 792 Basic IC. Proceed as follows:

1 Start program

Double-click the software icon to start the program. The

program window with the opening picture is opened and the

Do not enter any password here, just click on
