PGT-08-S@SOPAS

4.3 

Setting up the encoder

1.  Create a new project (

see page 11

).

2.  Connect the PGT-08-S hardware with the connected encoder to the PC.
3.  Click the 

 button.

CAUTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect adapter cable! 

The programming tool must only be used with the designated adapter cables (

see 

page 26

). Other adapter cables are not permitted. Otherwise, this could result in 

damage to the programming tool and/or the encoder.

4. 

Once the encoder is found, confirm that the correct cable is connected.
