21. Programming An AutoRAE 2 Controller-based System
on the Computer
When it comes to an AutoRAE 2 Controller-based system configuration, some
parameters, such as date and time, can be configured either on the PC or directly on the
Controller screen. Other parameters, such as the AutoRAE 2 system password can only
be configured directly on the Controller, whereas gas configurations (gas inlet settings),
can be only configured on a PC. Firmware updates for both the Controller and all the
Cradles connected to it can also only be done on a PC.
To program an AutoRAE 2 Controller-based system on a PC, you need ProRAE Studio II
Instrument Configuration and Data Management Software, the AutoRAE 2 Controller-
based system connected to a power source, and a USB PC communications cable.

Connect a USB cable between a PC with ProRAE Studio II and the AutoRAE 2
Controller.
