7.1.1
Installing the SOPAS configuration software
The interactive configuration is carried out using the provided SOPAS configuration
software on a PC which must be connected to the Bulkscan®. Using SOPAS you can
continuously display and test contour data, measured values, and status signals, and
also set parameters as required. You can save and archive the configuration data as a
project file on the PC.
How to install the SOPAS configuration software:
Observe the system requirements. These are stated on the download web site www.
sick.com/SOPAS.
Run the setup.exe from the download web site.
Follow the instructions in the Setup wizard.
To configure the Bulkscan® it is not necessary to select the sensor during installation.
SOPAS loads the device description which matches the firmware in the sensor directly
from the sensor later.
